Tommie Smith Selling Olympic Gold Medal

Tommie Smith, former Olympic gold medalists is selling his medal from the 1968 games. Smith, along with John Carlos shocked the world when they bowed their heads and raised their fists for human rights during the medal ceremony in Mexico City.

The 200-meter star is auctioning off the medal and his spikes for $250,000. M.I.T. Memorabilia is hosting the auction which is set to end on November 4th.

Smith claims that he is selling the medal for the money, but more importantly he wants to share it with the public.

Now I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. Times are hard for everyone, so Smith shouldn't feel obligated to say he's interested in "sharing" the medal with the people. Just keep it real Tommie.
