I guess these two black turds don’t understand what the Olympics is supposed to be all about.
It’s gonna get awfully confusing :)
Good thing I don’t watch.
The boxing I watch. But not for a while.
I still don’t get curling. Should look it up.
Looks like they’re cleaning the ice :)
Will the Olympics organization stand up and protect athletes from say Communist China if they take opportunity to protest against China’s policies and human rights record?
Or is this just a protection against backlash from the Olympics and if the athletes soon disappear to a re-education gulag for 5 years pay it no attention?
That bastard, John Carlos won’t quit.
He is known for one thing only, the fist in the air commie salute. So now, as he fades even farther to black, he campaigns to have the protest rule, made BECAUSE OF HIS SHAMEFUL ACTION, ended.
John Carlos: black skin, black heart, black brain, black blood and black mark on Olympic History.
Yep, a one note symphony.
Cancel the Olympics.
Quick, without looking it up...what event did John Carlos compete in?
In the early years, political expressions were outlawed, it was a contest of individuals under a with national identity only that they paraded under a national banner. Athletes could not be sponsored by a nation, only private funding. This was all contaminated by the Communist countries of the USSR era who did finance their Olympic programs and used international sports programs as part of their foreign policy. Then in 1972 in the Munich Games, the South African team was sent home because of apartheid. The non-government, non-political rules still are in force, but enforcing them is another question.
AND....it’ll happen.
