Avery Brundage is Today's Featured Article on the English Wikipedia, which notes that he "fought zealously" against boycotting the Games in Nazi Germany.

The "Legacy" section spells it out clearly, noting he's well known as an anti-Semite, racist and admirer of Hitler.
So it's a good day for me to re-post the editorial I co-wrote in 2019 asking the USOC to remove him from their Hall of Fame: https://sjsunews.com/article/remove-brundage-from-olympic-hall-of-fame
Sadly, he's still in it: https://www.teamusa.org/Hall-of-Fame/Hall-of-Fame-Members/Avery-Brundage
