This article illustrates how hockey and the Olympics are utilized on a main level to withdraw the most emotions from the world. Also how the 1980 Men's Olympic Hockey game was covered relative to the historical events occurring at the time. For example, the Cold War created many tensions between the two countries and the results showed while playing against each other in the Olympics. The use of color commentary, news columns, and pictures were used as an impromptu propaganda to propel the United States over the Soviets.
I feel like this source is valuable for my research paper. It shows how the game of Hockey in the 1980 Olympics helped fuel the melodramatic fire between the United States and the Soviets during the Cold War. I will use this source to depict how the overall olympic games are melodramatic and how they effect the views of the world. Also, I will use this to show how "The Miracle on Ice" was extremely melodramatic and helped propel the Unites States over the Soviets.
