The Voyage of the 1932 Brazilian Olympic team – Sports Bizarre
In 1932, with the world going through the Great Depression, Brazil had no money to send its Olympic team to Los Angeles.
Then a government official had an idea—load a ship with 50,000 bags of coffee, and have the Olympic team sell the cargo to fund the entire trip.
Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy look at a strange trip which included pretending the ship was a warship, and civil war breaking out.
Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy are excited to announce the launch of Bizarre Plus, the new Membership program for even more Sports Bizarre.
