The Editor,
The idea that the City of Richmond might spend more than $5 million on an Olympic Sport Museum is startling and troubling.
For a moment, I thought the idea was a joke.
If such a plan were ever carried out, it would be a travesty and a tragedy.
At the very least, the citizens of Richmond must be asked to vote on such a proposition if it is ever seriously considered.
There are so many more important issues confronting the city at this time.
The original Olympic ideal was a good one, but it was destroyed in ancient times, and it has been destroyed by out-and-out professionalism again today.
