Disappointing. If there was anything one used to be able to count on with the Olympics, it was the IOC being strict about the “no politics” rule. Leftists ruin everything.

The trouble is politics is built into the modern games when nations compete against each other. There was a survey done ages ago where if there weren’t national teams just individual athletes representing themselves at the Olympics the audience would plummet to next to nothing. The olympics long ago chose socialism to be their ethos and politics so I stopped watching.

Our athletes are all woke these days. Just watch AMerican Ninja Warrior. They all represent some faction such as BLM. We are not watching much sports these days if at all.
