Jim Thorpe gives back his medals
98 years ago today he gave up his 1912 Olympic medals for being paid $25 to play in a semi-pro baseball game.
I remember reading about this as a child, in a Thorpe biography, and being astounded that grown-ups would do something like this (make him give up his medals). Maybe the first adult fvck-up I can remember finding out about.
