Finding a Scapegoat

Frey, the Chief Operating Officer of the U.S. Track and Field Association, stared at Williams, surprised.

"Mr. Williams, did I hear you right? You mean 'the head coach'? You want to hire a Chinese man to be the head coach of our American track and field team?"

Williams was pleased with Frey's surprised reaction. He nodded, "Yeah, you heard that correctly."

"America is the best in track and field. Our team is the Dream Team! Ae you sure we should hire a Chinese man to be our head coach? His country only wins one gold medal in track and field every Olympics.

"I have thought carefully about this," Williams said. "I was so blind and optimistic about the appointment of Rivers, but it turned out to be a bad decision. Rivers was not qualified enough to be respected by the athletes, and they would respect Li. So far, the only American coaches we can find are lie Rivers."
