Worse game in the history of the Olympics. I would never accept the medals either.

Great Video of the story.

I know Tom McMillan and my grandmother Knew Henry Iba. Not a lot of people know that after the game, as he was complaining to the judges, someone picked his pocket and stole his wallet. Insult to injury. Wow.

"After hearing no about 15 times, the USOC has not contacted us in the last 20 years," Kenny Davis said. The captain even added a line to his will saying that his heirs must "never accept" a silver medal from the ‘72 Olympics.

All the more reason we should've went to Moscow in 1980 and kicked their arse.
