Jim Thorpe,a Sac and Fox,Shawnee and Potowatami Indian, won the Pentathlon and Decathlon in the Summer Olympics of 1912. In addition he was elected the first President of American Football Association, the precurser to the NFL. He was also inducted into the college and professional Football Hall of Fame for his spectacular play in that sport. He also played semi professional Baseball. It is no wonder Congress named him Athlete of the Century.
