I'll never forget how they didn't allow the Spanish Olympians to wear a black ribbon or armband in honour of those killed in a plane crash. It wasn't political: it was pure decency and the OC banned them. They are horrible.

And FIFA wouldn't allow England to wear a Poppy on their shirt.

I think The Olympic Committee is abusing "Neutral " this adjective. Being neutral doesn't mean that you have to turn the blind eyes on humanity, justice and freedom which have been being suppressed by CCP obviously for a long time.pic.twitter.com/F1KGyvoCD4

The Olympic committee continues to stand on the wrong side of history. “Sport has the power to change the world,” Mandela said. “It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.”

no offense to you but at this rate and with so many people already divided why not just enjoy a moment of sport and forget all the nonsense of fighting the system. Some just want to see a game not every 2 sec an athlete that wants everybody to see he is fighting the system

"Neutrality" itself is political.

I'm probably like 1000% more sympathetic to (some) institutional & personal aspirations to neutrality/objectivity/etc. than you. But the IOC is fucking terrible on most counts. So safe bet this exemplifies "we're neutral!" as disingenuous camouflage for bad politics.
