It wasn't that long ago that the Olympics movement was so pure and commercial free. We all know how Jim Thorpe was striped of his medal just because he player semi-pro baseball, a sport not related to his medal at all. Okay, that was a long time ago.

Now we see the Olympics logo on just about merchandise as long as they pay the license fee.
