IOCC: Kindly define “religious propaganda”.
Bibles?
Korans?
There can be no doubt that the Olympics will be chock full of such displays. As a result the Olympics have been added to my “pay no mind” list...along with the NFL,the NBA,MLB....
The IOCC is run by a mostly conservative mostly white and minority conservative board. Athletes may think they have the power in this situation, but they don’t. It’s their game and you had better play by their rules.
They had zero problem with this when Trump was in office. Now that the junta has seized power, they dislike protesting.
I have to admit to being a little surprised by this. Could this be a “pivot point” offered by globalists? I smell a VERY big RAT!!!
It would be fun to watch American athletes “protest” now that the Democrats are in charge.
“Punished” how, exactly?
How about the police nab them the second they pull crap, hustle them out of the arena, take them to the airport, revoke their visa, and ship them home?
If you want to train for years, sacrifice anything resembling a normal life, reach the pinnacle of performance in your sport, then throw it all away for some momentary and wildly mis-represented "cause"... By all means, let yourself be manipulated into an idiotic gesture.
I have always supported the Olympics even when there was the occasional “protestor”. But, no more. The US Olympic teams no longer represent America but rather represent the Disunited Communist States of North America. I don’t even watch them on TV.
The NFL and all other sports should do this.
Fat chance.
Yeah we will see
Simple solution, just dont watch.
The coverage is usually garbage anyway.
“... seven out of 10 athletes of nearly 3,500 polled feel it is not appropriate to demonstrate at Olympic events..”
Hmm. I wonder what they THINK. That ‘feel’ crap... leftists always win that argument.
