The recent bankruptcy of Dutch bank DSB left a $300,000 hole in U.S. Speedskating’s budget just a few months before the Olympics. This week, comedian Stephen Colbert came to the rescue when he proposed having “Colbert Nation” sponsor the team. He announced the move Monday night on his show, with the former Olympian Dan Jansen as his guest and with U.S. Speedskating’s executive director, Bob Crowley, ready to hand him a sponsorship agreement to sign. This will secure a good supply of skating news in the next few months. And an endless stream of jokes about the Dutch, I'm sure.
