The International Olympic Committee on Thursday affirmed that athletes are banned from making political statements at the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, months after two Americans were rebuked for their demonstrations at the Pan-American Games.
Officials unveiled strict rules governing athlete behavior in the form of Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter. The rule states that “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.”
While Rule 50 already existed, the IOC identified specific examples of actions that are no longer permitted during the Olympics. Athletes are banned from kneeling, making hand gestures or displaying political messages in the form of armbands or other attire, among other restrictions. Continued

I don’t care. I stopped watching when they added beach volleyball and BMX. Give me a damn break.
Chuckle: women’s (REAL women’s) beach volleyball is one of the best things to watch!
Funny how it is usually athletes from the US who make the political statements, usually against the US. Athletes from countries where they would be shot for disparaging their counties don’t make such statements because they know they would be shot for making such statements. Leftists consider the fact that athletes from tyrannical countries don’t make disparaging statements as evidence that those countries are better than the US. All it really proves is that leftists are morons.
Meanwhile a number of countries still praise the Munich terrorists.
Never Trumpers hardest hit.
All of the U.S. Progs, be they male, female, itmale, will be screaming that this rule violates their First Amendment rights to their type of Free Speech.
If they’re going to let trannies compete, why not give Russia, China and NOKO their medals back from back in the day when they had juiced up women and men participating as women?
Does that include raising a clenched fist? Seems to me that was done in 1968…

Yup, two bad black dudes giving the Black Power closed fist salute. One of them ended up with a cushy job at some university. That’s Black Power: get yourself a high paying job in a university, thanks to white liberal university officials.
