"You can’t make up this kind of irony."

Your irony is that you are saying pretty much the same stuff they said about Tommie Smith, John Carlos and Peter Norman in 1968. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute

Back then CRT stood for cathode ray tube AKA television. Apt, I suppose, because the medium carried their message to the world.

By 2011? ""In that moment, Tommie Smith, Peter Norman, and John Carlos became the living embodiments of Olympic idealism."
