41. Online NewsHour: Olympic History: The Impact Of Professionalism A surprising and entertaining article on the history of the modern games. Accordingto olympic lore, basketball star Michael Jordon and his Dream Team http://www.pbs.org/newshour/forum/july96/olympics_7-23.html

OLYMPIC CHANGES: DOLLARS AND SENSE TUESDAY 7/23/96 It's been 10 years since the distinction between "amateur" and "professional" was deleted from the Olympic charter and what has it bought us? Many argue that the advent of professionalism has devalued the Olympic spirit envisioned by the modern event's originator, France's Pierre de Coubertin. De Coubertin believed the modern Olympics should be a pristine, apolitical arena where "amateur" athletes indulge in pure competition and rejoice in the heights of human achievement. The Olympic mystique suggested that anyone could be a contender. Ordinary people dreamed of competing in the Olympics, and the dreams spurred athletic activity all over the world. Now that has changed... Olympic athletes have sponsors, expensive equipment, and the luxury of training full time. Money has changed the look and feel of the Olympics in the second half of the 20th century. July 17, 1996:

Sports Basketball Basketball in America: A History Source: The U.S. Department of State An American game that has traveled well is basketball, now played by more than 250 million people worldwide in an organized fashion, as well as by countless others in "pick-up" games. Basketball originated in 1891 when a future Presbyterian minister named James Naismith (1861-1939) was assigned to teach a physical education class at a Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) training school in Springfield, Massachusetts. The class had been noted for being disorderly, and Naismith was told to invent a new game to keep the young men occupied. Since it was winter and very cold outside, a game that could be played indoors was desirable. Naismith thought back to his boyhood in Canada, where he and his friends had played "duck on a rock," which involved trying to knock a large rock off a boulder by throwing smaller rocks at it. He also recalled watching rugby players toss a ball into a box in a gymnasium. He had the idea of nailing up raised boxes into which players would attempt to throw a ball.

Women's Sports Progress Under Title IX; Women's Basketball Goes Pro by Kathryn Lee Kemp, Women's Institute on Sport and Education, and Melinda Shelton Let 1996 go down in Olympic history as the Year of the Female Athlete. For the first time in modern Olympic history, women dominated both in events and worldwide recognition. More than 65,000 spectators crammed the stands to see the U.S. women claim a soccer gold medal, while thousands more experienced history as the U.S. claimed the first gold medal ever awarded in softball. And the Georgia Dome rocked with more than 35,000 fans many wearing jerseys emblazoned with their favorite female athlete's name and number who witnessed spectacular basketball as the U.S. swept by Brazil to win the gold medal. The U.S. sent the largest contingent of female athletes 287 and the 3,779 women competitors (out of 10,440 total) represented a 26 percent increase from the previous summer games in Barcelona, Spain. In fact, women in this year's games comprised 34.4 percent of the competitors, compared to 20.6 percent in Montreal's 1976 games. While most people understand the spirit behind Olympic events breaking down barriers many people are unaware of a law that has done just that for this country's female athletes. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 states "no person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal aid."

As anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of British colonial history knows, Australia began as a penal colony for the British Empire. To make room for its outcasts, Britain attempted to clear the land of its inhabitants, human and otherwise. Just as the indigenous Americans were slaughtered and pushed from their lands, so were the aboriginal peoples on the fifth continent. Likewise, many of those who survived the various assaults on their lands and people were "resettled" and their children were stolen. Once stolen

"Forty minutes of intense basketball, not letting up," she said, turning to teammate Teresa Edwards. "Did we do it?" Griffith asked. Edwards wrinkled her nose. The game was lopsided, with the U.S. team easily outscoring Canada 90-51. Griffith had 23 points and nine rebounds and Ruthie Bolton-Holifield added 17 points in the U.S. team's third victory over Canada in a week. Canada was led by Dianne Norman of Fredericton, and Stacey Dales, of Brockville, Ont., who each scored 12 points.
