Olympics Champions and Party Conventions: Pledging Allegiance and Endorsing Candidates
Manage episode 428339078 series 1952780
Every four years, there’s a Republican convention.
And every four years, there’s a Democratic convention.
And every four years, there’s a Summer Olympics.
What happens when you put them all together?
You get this:
“Delegates and guests, please welcome Olympic gold medalist, gymnast Gabby Douglas to lead us in the pledge of allegiance”
That was the 2012 Democratic National Convention. And here’s the 2004 Republican National Convention:
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome two of our favorite all-American heroes, Mary Lou Retton and Kerry Strug.”
It happens every four years: Olympians at both conventions: They pledge allegiance ... They endorse candidates… They make people laugh … They make people proud.
Which American Olympic champions have spoken at which conventions?
And what did they say?
And whom did they endorse?
