Athletes participating in next year’s Olympics will not be sanctioned for “peacefully and respectfully” demonstrating in support of social justice causes, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced Thursday.
The Hill reported that previous guidelines from the committee prohibited athletes from participating in any “kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.” Those guidelines have now been relaxed, at least for one particular type of political demonstration.
