The U.S. Olympics Committee has recently allowed a few things that have totally stabbed regular Americans in the back. There really is no other way to say it. The best way to sum it up is that even though the Olympic Charter’s Rule 50 doesn’t allow political statements while athletes are performing on the field, some of the liberals associated with the sport have found a way around it like they always seem to do. Simply put, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee just told all of its participants that the rule no longer needs to be followed during the Olympic trials. Two words: slippery slope.
Part of the guidance sent to the athletes in preparation for the delayed Tokyo Olympiad, the USOPC said it has a belief that all of their athletes have a “right to advocate for social and racial justice” and that it “aligns with some of the fundamental values of equality defining Team USA and the Olympic and Paralympic games.”
The document that the Olympic Committee sent illustrated some of the permissions that they felt were acceptable for their athletes to engage in. One of the most glaring examples of this would be the ability to “kneel at the podium at the start line during the national anthem.”
Other things the athletes can do would include wearing “Black Lives Matter” hats; orally advocating for equal rights for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals, or other populations that have been historically marginalized; or holding up a fist at the podium or the starting line.
I guess this also means athletes can protest the shysneezes for they muslim genocides. Others can wear pro-palistinian stuff. Not to mention some athletes wearing It's OK to be Whyte.
