  • サマリー

  • Jim Thorpe was an American Icon, an Olympionic figure, as the first Greeks like Filippides the messenger running the 25miles from Marathon to Athens to inform about the victory of Greece against the Persians during the Medic War!
    Jim Thorpe was a Native American Indian!
    Wa Tho Huk! That means Bright Path in English! And he was a thunderbolt in sports, specially in American Football. First President of the NFL!
    He won 8 olimpic medals in running, jumping, marathon, decathlon, etc with a pair of broken shoes, after they stole his, in Sweden in 1912! After 6 months they took away his records and medals, because he was payed some dollars to play sports before the Olympic Games. At that time, the Olympic Games was just for “amateurs” (Normal citizens that made sports just for love and passion). President Eisenhower played against Thorpe when he was in the West Point football team! They lost 27 to 6! Thorpe scored almost all the points! He never understood how a Native American was able to do this! It was a different America, when Native American Indians were not full citizens until the end of the 1920’s.
