Olympics Change Rule: Athletes Will Be Allowed To Protest, Including Kneeling, At Events

The International Olympic Committee appears to have fully opened the door to gestures such as the taking of the knee for Black Lives Matter at this summer's games in Tokyo, easing the rules after consulting thousands of athletes.
quote:
In a potentially telling section for competitors planning to repeat the kneeling gesture that has become prevalent across sports, athletes have been told that they can air their views on the field before the start of events or during their individual or team introductions.
quote:
A new version of International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines, produced to provide "further clarity and guidance" to athletes, gives stars the "opportunity to express their views" in areas including media zones and centers, at press conferences and on social media.

The Olympics is many American athletes’ one opportunity to demonstrate during the anthem and grab some attention — especially in the sports that we don’t normally pay attention to.

This type of mentality is what is dividing this country . Those Americans who want to protest so bad, they get to train with our resources, and have everything they could ever want , while their competitors are from some of the poorest places on the planet . And have the gaul and audacity to protest and claims America is unfair and racist .
These people have zero perspective on life outside social media and the American bubble .

At least we’ll figure out who the patriots are.

So the least watched sports outside of the Olympic will be the loudest attention seeking whore sports in the Olympics. Got it

Yeah because that won’t embolden them

There’s a global plan at work here

All athletics have taken advantage of the large viewership to promote their narrative....
They can all go to hell!

This has a lot of potential.
Maybe a patriot will drape a trump won banner !

So where do they draw the line with the absurd protesting? If a US athlete loses can they drop trow and jack off on the stand as a form of protest?
