"Politics has no place in the olympics." You have no appreciation of history. The olympics is involved in politics and always has been. e.g. Decisions on where to host olympics are political. This very decision is itself a political one, suppressing protest is a political decision, it says the status quo is to be preserved. It also appears to be in breach of Article 19 of the UN universal declaration of human rights. | |||

"If you want to keep politics out of sport then you need to keep sport out of politics. Marcus Rashford should have just shut up and dribbled then?" You ever asked a question that you presume is obviously rhetorical and then they reply "yes"? Careful what you ask! Did you hear Vicky Ford saying a few months back that Rashford is a lovely guy but didn't actually achieve anything as she was doing it anyway?! | |||

This very decision is itself a political one, suppressing protest is a political decision, it says the status quo is to be preserved. It also appears to be in breach of Article 19 of the UN universal declaration of human rights. " Is that the article that applies to things we agree with but not to things we don't. How does it cover someone saying all gays should be shot at birth. Blacks sent back to swing in the trees. The above paragraph is hateful, disgusting and no-one should be allowed to promote any of it. So to safeguard against the above we have to accept the occasional loss of free speech ourselves. BLM is too big and too powerful for a little Olympics ban to hurt it. (Good luck to all GB athletes competing). | |||

"Well they will all take the knee at the start of the final of the 100 metres " Nobody regardless of nationalities, colours or religions would dare to make a standing start at 100m (even up to 400m) nowadays.  | |||

"You can never exclude anything from the Olympics. It's one of the biggest gatherings in the world. Surely opportunist will jump to take the opportunity to make their statements. 1972 Munich killing incidents, 1976 Africa boycotts, 1980 Western Block and 1984 retaliation Eastern Block boycotts are all political. If you look at what happened in 2019 World Swimming Championship, athletes protest to one another is expected in Tokyo Olympics. " And the IOC itself is political, part of the reason for selecting Beijing was stated by the IOC as being to have a positive impact on Chinese human rights. It backfired, but nevertheless IOC had a stated political purpose in its choice. No view on whether the IOC decision is positive or not, simply that the decision is itself a political one and the olympics has political dimension. Keeping politics out of it has failed before it starts. | |||
