Abstract
The Los Angeles Times' award-winning Olympics supplement was studied with a special focus on political assertions injected into sports coverage of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Most stories contained no political assertions, but among those that did, most of the assertions dealt with U.S.-Soviet relations. Most of the assertions suggested the Soviet-led boycott was politically successful in discrediting the Games and individual American sporting event victories.
