Do you appreciate stories about the 'culture of politics'?
What does Melania Trump think about the applications of gender politics to the capitalism-subjective administration of her husband-President (Donald Trump)?
Have we become blind to profiteerism, and if so, do we require/seek an 'American Braille'?

Karch Kiraly was excited to repeat the successes of the US men's national volleyball team at the 1984 Summer Olympics, now that the 1988 Summer Olympics were about to begin. His squad was well-trained, focused, and honed to achieve, and the world anticipated that the favorites (the real heavyweights) would prove too much for any close rival such as Japan, Brazil, and the Soviet Union. Kiraly's potential second gold medal would seal forever the domination of American athletes at the Olympic games over the athletes of their rival nation (the only real socioeconomic threat to the 'American Empire') --- the Soviet Union (or USSR). Kiraly was staring at destiny.
His team had to surmount the formidable challenges posed by multiple teams with upset/conquest on their minds, and Kiraly made sure the team chemistry of the US team remained one of self-composure and controlled rage to handle the tricky 'artistry' of well-oiled, stealthy, and relentless rival squads (especially the USSR). The victory over the Soviet Union in a gold-medal game would stamp on the international stage the impression that non-violent competitive sports could substitute for the geo-political maladies of profiteerism catalyzed multinational conflict. America was, after all capitalist, while the USSR was, obviously, socialist. Only rising American politician Hillary Clinton was a cheerleader for the Soviet team. She also favored the United Kingdom (as a liberal critic of American capitalism).
When Kiraly's team captured their second gold medal, everyone was in jubilation! It was an odd but meaningful glory for the international sports community and the US representation at the Olympics since the tragedy of Munich. People marvelled at how teamwork and coordinated skill in non-violent competitive scenarios (i.e., professional sports) could exorcise humanity's demonic instincts to relentlessly seek out the Machiavellian vanity of war and conquest. Kiraly was written about in the New Yorker in an editorial which suggested that American citizens should seriously consider 'knighting' the athletic 'American celebrity' in honor of the American contributions to geo-social humanism issues (e.g., democracy, media, chauvinism in sports, etc.)! The future American movie actress Daisy Ridley (star of a George Lucas Star Wars sequel) would become a devoted 'democracy advocate' of the international relations/diplomacy dialogue regarding the Olympic games (USA-USSR, Munich, etc.).
