    An Olympic ban on a swimming cap designed with people of color in mind has sparked a conversation about the sport's lack of diversity. Alice Dearing, Britain's first Black female Olympic swimmer, has been barred from wearing the Soul Cap at #Tokyo2020.http://apne.ws/VayvCHO

        Give it time, Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro will make entire rage casts about how this is just the continuing weakness of our society all at the hands of a black woman.

        A lack of diversity in what, swimming caps? Since when did that become important?

        It's not like you care about diversity or inclusiveness, neither bother you.

        The IOC is notoriously slow in approving anything because everyone is constantly trying to gain any advantage they can. I have zero doubt it will be approved for 2024. Calm down.

        I believe the ruling actually came from FINA (intl federation for swimming). IOC adopts their guidance. FINA has stated they want more time to study. And these specific caps are likely a competitive disadvantage, but applicable rule on shape could be used to create advantage.
