UMarty Glickman.I-Wikipedia. Ndacinga ngoMarty Glickman kutshanje, xa iKomiti yeOlimpiki yaseMelika inikezela ngeMbasa yayo yonyaka yeDouglas MacArthur. Kwaye njengokuba iMidlalo yeHlabathi ka-2016 eRio itsalela ababukeli abaliwaka kwihlabathi liphela, loo mbasa yaqaqamba kwimemori yam. Esi sisikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-80 seMidlalo yeOlimpiki awathi uMarty, umJuda waseBrooklyn, akavunyelwa ukuba akhuphisane kuyo.
Inkumbulo ibaluleke kakhulu ukusukela kulo nyaka, okokuqala, intshukumo yeOlimpiki iyabavuma iimbaleki zakwa-Israyeli ezabulawa ngabanqolobi kwimidlalo ye-1972 eJamani.
Uninzi lwethu lwalusazi uMarty njengomsasazi wezemidlalo owoyikekayo, ilizwi laseNew York — indlela entsha yokuchaza indlela awayichaza ngayo ibhasikithi kaKnicks, kunye nommemezeli wokudlala umdlalo weeNgxilimbela kunye neeJets.
Zininzi izinto ezisecaleni kunye nezinto ezincinci ezaziwayo kwelinye lamabali abangel 'umdla kwaye ahlala ixesha elide abandakanya amaJuda kunye nemidlalo kwi-20th Century: Kwenzeka ntoni kuMarty kunye neqela lakhe elinye lamaJuda, uSam Stoller, kwimidlalo yeOlimpiki ka-1936 eBerlin- kunye emva.
Xa ndithetha noMarty odla ngokutshixeka phantsi malunga neeOlimpiki, amehlo akhe anciphile-ekuphela kwamaxesha endakha ndambona enomsindo.
Iinyani ezingenanto: Ngentsasa yovavanyo lokugqibela lobushushu kumgama weemitha ezingama-400, uGlickman noStoller-kuphela kwamaJuda kwiqela lama-Olimpiki laseUnited States elinamalungu angama-66- basuswa bafakwa endaweni kaJesse Owens noRalph Metcalfe.
Ngelo xesha yayiyinto enkulu enkulu-uGlickman ebanga ukuba le ntshukumo yayipolitiki, kwaye uStler wafunga ukuba akasoze aphinde alandele umkhondo.
Intloko yeKomiti yeOlimpiki yaseUnited States, uAvery Brundage, wenza inyathelo lokuthomalalisa uHitler nobuNazi.
Abaqeqeshi babanga ukuba amaJamani azokukhuphisana nabaprinta ababebafihlile kwimisitho yoluntu, kwaye i-Owens kunye neMetcalfe zazintle kakhulu i-US iyakufuna iimbaleki ezikhawulezayo. Ewe, loo nto yayingenangqondo. Awunakho ukufihla iimbaleki ezikumgangatho wehlabathi, wayezakutsho uMarty.
Xa ndithetha noMarty odla ngokutshixeka phantsi malunga neeOlimpiki, amehlo akhe anciphile-ekuphela kwamaxesha endakha ndambona enomsindo. Kodwa ke kwenzeka into engaqhelekanga. Ngo-1998, ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-60 emva kwempikiswano, iKomiti yeOlimpiki yaseUnited States yamwonga uMarty. Yayingumzuzu olahlekileyo, nangona wawungaphantsi kweminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo.
Nantsi into eyenzekileyo: Kwiminyhadala yeemvakalelo kwiNew York Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, eCommack, L.I., umongameli we-U.S., UWilliam J. Hybl, wazisa imbasa yeMacArthur kuMarty.
Kutheni uGeneral Douglas MacArthur, owayesaziwa njengejoni elikhulu kunayo nayiphi na into ayenzileyo kwezemidlalo? UMacArthur wayeyintloko yokusebenza kweOlimpiki yaseMelika iminyaka emibini kwii-1920s.
Kwiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe kamva, uHybl wandixelela i-U.S.O.C. ibisenza iMacArthur Award ngeemeko ezifuna ukwamkelwa yi-UOS. Asizukoyika ukwenza izinto, kuze kulungiswe iimpazamo.
Ndiye ndabuza uHybl ukuba uyakholelwa ukuba ngenene kwakukhona ukungahambisani nobuJuda ngamagosa eOlimpiki aseMelika xa uMarty wayekhutshiwe kwiqela lonke kwiminyaka eyadlulayo? Ndandingumtshutshisi, utshilo uHybl, ephendula umbuzo ngokungafanelekanga. Ndiqhele ukujonga ubungqina. Ubungqina babukhona.
Kodwa ukuba i-U.S. yayijonga ukuba iimpazamo zilungisiwe, kubonakala ngathi iqalile kwaye yeka noMarty. Kuba akukho bhaso linye lilandelayo eliye nakubani na ngokungakhathali othathelwa ingqalelo yintshukumo yeOlimpiki. Onke amabhaso alandelayo aye kubantu abadlale indima ebonakalayo nabaye bazukiswa ngaphambili ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. Babandakanya ukuphumelela amabhaso kaNobel kunye nowayesakuba nguSosiba welizwe laseMelika uGqirha Henry Kissinger. 
UNancy Glickman, utata wakhe, uMarty Glickman, wayelilungu leqela lase-US Olvmpic kwiMidlalo yeOlimpiki yaseBerlin ngo-1936 kodwa wanyanzelwa ukuba arhoxe ngenxa yokuba wayengumJuda, wakhanyisa itotshi kumsitho wokuvula iMidlalo ye-Maccabi yaseYurophu ngoJulayi 28, Ngo-2015 eBerlin, eJamani.(Ifoto: Sean Gallup / Getty Izithombe)
Yonke le minyaka kamva, kuyacaca ukuba imbasa eya kuMarty yayiyeyona nto yayixolisa ikomiti ye-Olimpiki yaseMelika yokulwa nobuJuda. Ngaba kwenzeka ngengozi ukuba unyaka emva kokuba uGlickman noStoller betshintshiwe, inkampani yokwakha yaseBrundage yanikwa ikhontrakthi ngurhulumente waseJamani ukuba akhe i-ambassy yakhe eWashington?
UMarty wayeneminyaka engama-80 ubudala xa wayefumana imbasa yeMacArthur, kwaye wayeneenyembezi emehlweni akhe xa endixelela ukuba u-Owens wayethe kwiBrundage, Bayeke. Kodwa akukho mntu waphulaphulayo.
Emva koko uMarty wandixelela into endingazange ndiyazi, okanye uninzi lwabantu-ukuba emva kokuba imidlalo iphelile, waya kumboniso omfutshane wokhenketho eYurophu, kwaye kwabakho ugqatso lokudlulisa apho yena noStoller babetshatiswa ngokuchasene ne-Owens neMetcalfe .
Sababetha, utshilo uMarty. Kodwa ayizange ibe semthethweni.
UMarty wasweleka kwiminyaka eli-15 eyadlulayo ngo-2001, eyokugqibela kubo bonke abo babandakanyekayo. Kwi-2013, i-alma mater yakhe, iYunivesithi yaseSyrause, wenza iMarty Glickman Award kwiSikolo sayo saseNewhouse.
Abantu abaninzi abalazi ifa lakhe. Usasazo oluninzi lwezemidlalo luqale ngoMarty, ucacisile uDean Lorraine Branham weSikolo saseNewhouse.
Kwaye ke uMarty ekugqibeleni wafumana imbasa yakhe-kwaye, emva kokufa, uyayikhupha rhoqo ngonyaka.
