Regarding the Basketball at the Summer Olympics page--

Listen, I genuinely don't understand what you are referring to. The Orlando Sentinel article literally does not say what you claim it does. If you want I can screenshot my attempt to ctrl-f, I'd be happy to provide one. The word "communist" does not even occur in 2 of the three article cited as sources. It occurs once in the "sportinnews" article, "Communist countries used professional players while the United States played amateur players, and Yugoslavia won gold in 1980 and the Soviet Union in 1988. After the United States took bronze in 1988, and in response USA basketball worked with NBA commissioner David Stern to allow professional players to play". Is this one sentence enough to make a claim as strong as you are making? especially from a source as fringe as sportingnews.com ? I don't think so.
