Olympians might be safer if they don't wear USA gear

As a precaution, American track-and-field athletes at the 2004 Athens Olympics might be discouraged from wearing red, white and blue or anything with "USA" when they are not competing in Greece.

"For security reasons, if that's the way they want to go, that's what we'll do," said George Williams, U.S. men's track coach.

Jill Geer, USA Track & Field spokeswoman, said that "off-track uniform issues are governed by the U.S. Olympic Committee."

Williams said track officials have suggested ways to lower the profile of American athletes around Athens.

"They said it would be good if we low-keyed it," he said.

....Is having the world in our country for the Winter Olympics, being a bumbling fool in the delivery of his "speech" at opening ceromonies AND stealing the phrase "Let's Roll" as a comic catch phrase, though some dead hero used it in earnest.
