Athletes should wear what they can. I get that people in Japan may not understand, but black lives matter is not a political statement

How is it racist when all forms of protest or demonstration are banned? Nobody is being singled out.

The funny thing about this is that the IOC deemed the Nazi salute ok but said this wasnt lol.

Then banned those dudes from the Olympics i believed. Then those dudes went through hell when they got back. All 3 of em

Its not a protest or demonstration to say black lives matter anymore than it is to say "peace" or "equality"

they specifically mentioned black lives matter for a reason. its crap.

I like how a competition in which different nations compete for superiority over each other is afraid of politics. The entire event is a political pissing contest lol.

I dont think thats a great equivalency for the same reason saying "all lives matter" isnt the same as saying "peace" or "equality"

There is a lot of baggage and context that you cant ignore

Im not a fan of the rule banning positive messages like "black lived matter" but i dont think your reasoning is correct

It's kind of the "create a graveyard and call it peace" approach to the issue.

Saying it is a political statement is like saying it is an opinion or should be up for debate.

I guess I understand being wary after some of the riots but the riots have been kind of necessary. George Floyd's killer probably wouldn't have gone to trial if it weren't for the threat of more riots. The message is clear. Black people should not be getting killed by the police. The police should not be executing anyone. Very, very rarely lethal force may be necessary.

They claim 70% of 3,500 Olympic athletes do not think that demonstrations are appropriate. Seems like a high number, but then again, the Olympics are supposed to be about winning and representing your country.

Wonder what Rapinoe and LeBron think about this?

The IOC is more corrupt than FIFA. Don't trust anything they claim.

I studied it in high school for 2 years and my sensei and kids my girlfriend interacted with on her exchange trip there pretty much confirmed it. Hell, the Japanese still do blackface

What happened? Is it the ignorance they have of other cultures? That tends to be the case a lot.

Also are you referring to Gyaru style?

There is literally no such thing as an apolitical Olympics, but suddenly we're allergic to politics.

You can only wonder how much the Internet has to do with that. I feel like a lot of things we view from history that are no-brainers to support or not support would have been the same brutal cultural divides if the Internet existed at the time.

For how xenophobic Japan is, I'm surprised they are even hosting the olympics at all.
