    Amateur Athletic Union Considers Olympic Boycott.
    You are bidding on an authentic New York Times newspaper from December 9th 1935 with the headline of AAU backs Team in Berlin Olympics; Rejects Boycott. This event took place in 1935 when the United States was considering a boycott of the Olympics in Berlin due to Hitler and his Nazi regime. Thankfully, the United States participated in the 1936 Olympics and Jesse Owens went on to earn 4 gold medals, the first time a person has ever earned four gold medals in an Olympics.
