Atlanta Falcons players to see video about Jesse Owens' feats at 1936 Berlin Olympics 33 mins ago Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris has put together a video to make sure his players are up to speed on Jesse Owens’ accomplishments at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Owens, who was Black, won four gold medals in front of Adolf Hitler to thwart Nazi claims of Aryan racial supremacy at the same stadium where the Falcons will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Morris was speaking Friday at a press conference before practice at the training center of Bundesliga soccer club Union Berlin. He says he'll show the video to the team on Friday night. He hopes players get a “good prideful feeling of Jesse Owens and what he was able to accomplish.”
