Wikipedia on Vera Ralston:
She competed at the 1936 European Figure Skating Championships and placed 15th. Later that season, she competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics, where she placed 17th. During the games, she personally met and insulted Adolf Hitler. Hitler asked her if she would like to “skate for the swastika.” As she later recalled, “I looked him right in the eye, and said that I’d rather skate on the swastika. The Führer was furious.”
To summarize: The Peyton Manning smear campaign was started by a racist white guy pretending to be a black-guy who was upset because his boy Cam Newton pulled THE biggest choke job in Super-Bowl history.
