Olympics Ban Political Demonstrations In Tokyo And Beijing – No Kneeling
Or Fist Raising For BLM
Taking a knee or raising a fist for Black Lives Matter is banned and
punishable at the Tokyo summer Olympics and Beijing winter games.

The International Olympic Committee announced this week it’s upholding
Rule 50 and that means that taking a knee or raising a fist in support of
Black Lives Matter or racial equality is banned at the Tokyo Olympics this
summer as well as at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The summer games are set to run from July 23 – August 8, 2021. Last year,
the 2020 Summer Olympics were postponed because of the pandemic.
The winter games will be held February 4-20, 2022.
Daily Mail reported that the IOC’s Rule 50 forbids any kind of
“demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda” at any
Olympic events.
After consulting with athletes, the committee decided to enforce this rule
despite calls from athletes for them to be allowed to protest during the
Olympics.

After consulting with athletes, the committee decided to enforce this rule
despite calls from athletes for them to be allowed to protest during the
Olympics.
Take a look at this video:
The IOC’s Athletes’ Commission chief Kirsty Coventry said that the
majority of athletes that were consulted were against any kind of protests
at sporting events.
“I would not want something to distract from my competition and take away
from that. That is how I still feel today,” said Coventry, who is a former
Olympic swimming champion for Zimbabwe.
When asked if athletes should be punished for making political statements
by doing things like taking a knee at Olympic events, Coventry replied,
“Yes that is correct.”
“That is also because of the majority of athletes we spoke to. That is
what they are requesting for,” she explained, adding that around 70
percent of those athletes did not want protests on podiums, ceremonies,
and fields of play.
thletes Fire Back
Britain’s Olympic track cycling gold medalist Callum Skinner has since
fired back by saying that the IOC can’t actually stop athletes from taking
a knee at the Olympics.
He told The Times that the IOC seemed “intent on exercising control when
they don’t have any.”
“If an athlete wants to take the knee, they will take the knee,” he said.
Skinner, who retired two years ago, is a member of the Global Athlete
group, which aims to “create positive change in world sport.” He went on
to say that standing up for equality was not a political act.
“People get frustrated by ‘Black Lives Matter’ because they see it as a
political movement, but at its core it’s fighting for equality and that is
something the Olympics should 100% stand behind,” he continued.
American Athlete Sounds Off
American hammer thrower Gwen Berry also slammed the IOC for this.
“They won’t be the pioneers of true change,” she said. “They have their
own agenda and it’s to protect billions of dollars they generate from the
Olympic Games.”
No doubt this decision will enrage many of vocal ‘woke’ athletes around
the globe. This Olympics ban, however, signals that the world doesn’t
support their agenda to blend politics with sports.
We want to escape and enjoy the skill and thrill of the Olympic Games. No
one wants to tune in just to be lectured about “woke” liberal politics by
athletes.
