[Reader-list] The Olympics as Nationalist Theater

[Isaac D W Souweine]

Not sure how much I can help. . .Orwell has a great and famous article
on the subject that you can find online (and is probably the inspiration
for your debate title). . . If you can get a copy of Leni Riefensthal's
(sp?) movie about the '36 games, that is a priceless thing to view. .
.soccer is probably the most violent of the international sports
(especially in terms of fan injuries), so you could focus on that. .
.other than that, I just did a lot of trolling through web sites to see
what I could find . . .Good luck with the debate. . . and be prepared
for the "cricket is a bridge of peace between Pakistan and India" --
that's a real crowd pleaser. 

Yours,
Isaac
