"U.S. Olympic Committee Says Athletes Can Protest America During Games"

"If you’re going to become an Olympic athlete for the United States, shouldn’t you show respect to our country’s flag and anthem?

Most Americans probably believe that, but the U.S. Olympic Committee apparently doesn’t.

The committee’s leftists have decided to allow U.S. athletes to act out during the Games next summer with demonstrations against alleged ‘systemic racism’ (which is a myth to begin with, by the way).

The Hill reports:

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced Thursday that it will not sanction athletes who choose to 'peacefully and respectfully' engage in demonstrations in support of racial or social justice causes.

The rule around demonstrations was originally set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), according to a spokesperson for the USOPC. The spokesperson said that national Olympic committees have always historically enforced the policy.

The announcement however, amends the practice of enforcement if an athlete peacefully chooses demonstrate against racial injustice.

Ahead of the 2020 games, which were to be held this year but were moved to next year (July 23-August 8) due to the coronavirus pandemic, the rule was, 'No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.'"
