Former Olympic Committee Member Burton Talks 2018 Games

He is now a Sports Management professor in Falk College, but in 2008, Rick Burton was the Chief Marketing Officer for the United State Olympic Committee during the Beijing Games. A decade later, he spoke with LocalSYR.com about this year’s Games, specifically about the great moments that are born from international competition.
