A Thread to Discuss Why Life was Better in the Cold War Era


Recommended Posts

I am older than a lot of the posters here, but I am not waxing poetic for yesteryear. 

Positives from this era:

- US men’s hockey did believe in miracles 

- Boxing was still relevant 

- Pre steroid era, baseball records were set without suspicion

- John Madden was at his best 

- There was no social media for every couch coach to criticize without repercussions

-Magic v Larry

- Jack was still hitting them straight and putting like no other 

- Pete set all-time hit record 

Negatives:

-The Olympics became politicized 

- Football became a big business instead of a game

- Pete was banned from baseball

- Buckner let a ball roll through his legs 

-McEnroe going ballistic 

- Season on the Brink

- The Pine Tar Incident 

- Drugs and East German athletes
