@IraninSA Logically, US citizens are knowingly paying (via income taxes) for death and destruction in Iran and around the world. Fear of the consequence of withholding war taxes can’t justify voluntarily contributing to war making.

@heraskevych Coventry: ‘Its the messaging - no messaging in the field of play’
Will IOC go back to review the hundreds of tatoos on display on Paris 2024 athletes, start amending results? ‘RIP Mom’ leads to auto disqualification. Do i have that right?
@heraskevych IOC couldn’t have handled this more poorly; would argue it was they who really politicized it. And the precedent: disqualify a Dan Jansen for writing ‘Jane’ on his skates? disqualify USA Basketball team b/c player writes name/number of fam or friend lost to gun violence?
@Quaker2001@glenn_tunes Just genuinely curious about your invocation of the Olympic Truce in your argument. Equally curious about your thoughts on how either war didnt - on its face - violate the Olympic Truce. USOPC created by an Act of Congress, btw.
@Quaker2001@glenn_tunes Hmm, then would you agree that USA should’ve been banned from 1992 Games (Iraq War) and 2002 Games (Afghanistan) in the wake of US invasions?
@JulesBoykoff @epells@AP_Sports Now we just need to change the medal ceremony itself: lose the national anthems, use the Olympic flag/anthem. #olympism > #nationalism
@EdgeofSports Time to wake all the way up, ladies and gentlemen, and protest the militarism and nationalism that the pre-game anthem represents. Its the song that stirs the souls of those who would use violence and brutality to perpetuate foreign policy injustice around the world
