The International Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 organizers have banned their social media teams from sharing photos of athletes participating in peaceful protest at the Games, The Guardian reported Wednesday.
quote:
The report comes hours after five women's soccer teams kneeled on the pitch prior to their group-stage matches. The USWNT, Sweden, Team Great Britain, Chile and New Zealand players all took a knee in protest of racism and online hate, an action that was broadcast live on TV. It was not, however, shared to any of the IOC or Tokyo 2020 social channels. Social media teams were instructed to not share photos of such actions on Tuesday night, prior to the matches occurring, according to The Guardian.

I hope the women's soccer team loses every game.

I truly wish they would ban protests all together.
Explain the olympics is not about protesting, it’s about competing against the worlds best. If you protest, you are gone

Maybe the USWNT should have worried more about Sweden than taking a knee.

Instead of kneeling these cvnts should win a game

In the old days, someone doing a political protest would result in them getting tossed and any medals stripped.
For example, the two US sprinters throwing up the Black Power sign in the Mexico City games.

So now they’ve added “online hate” to their grievance. Something as vague and absurd as protesting “racism”

Plus protesters in the past had real actual things to protest.

What are Sweden, Chile and New Zealand kneeling for?

I hope Rapinoe trips, falls and breaks her dick.

Is this online hate?
Posted on 7/21/21 at 1:49 pm to Tigerbait357
What is that first photo from? It’s clearly not from today as Rapinoe didn’t start and the shorts don’t match up.

That attentionho dude set women's soccer back for God knows how long. This team doubling down on it is meaningless.
...especially if they 2 & 'cue.

Nevermind that the racism and online hate that they believe they are protesting has been proven bullshite many times over.
I guess this is "their truth".
