Lumping Beard in with Owens, Rudolph, BJK, Ali is absurd, beyond absurd, bordering on insane. She took off her clothes for money. Owens stood up against Hitler, hardly equal. That's almost like lumping Stud in with noodlers, does the noodlers a great disservice, as they actually do swim from time to time fast.
I don't think he was lumping Beard in with any of those people. I think he was merely illustrating the point that he wished that more athletes would take a stand on social issues and that the Olympics were beyond being just about 'the sport'!
