Blind Item #7

USOC: So, we have this great human interest piece about a first generation athlete who really embodies the Olympic spirit and family and will give everyone the warm and fuzzies. She should carry the flag for the US at the opening ceremonies.

Nike: We gave you a lot of money and we don't care about that. This permanent A list athlete is carrying the flag because we have an entire marketing campaign coming based off it

USOC: But...

Nike: Great. We are agreed. See you at the Winter Games in a couple of years. Help yourself to some stickers on the way out.
