Now why doesn't it surprise me that the cartoonists chose to portray the athletes as stereotypical Native Americans, completely ignoring what they really looked like? I personally think it's a shame that amateur athletes have since been banned from attending the Olympics, because it sorta feels contrary to the original spirit of the games, if one catches my drift.
