When athletes kneel, the rotten U.S. Olympic regime has no moral standing to object
When athletes kneel, the rotten U.S. Olympic regime has no moral standing to objectSally Jenkins | August 13, 2019
An organization that couldn’t bring itself to move against child molester Larry Nassar for allegations of abusing gymnasts suddenly wants to sanction athletes for acts of conscience? It’s laughable – deserving only of a derisive snort through the nose. Henceforth, every single American athlete should take a knee on every medal podium to protest the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, that corrupt, bloated organization with its shell game finances, which even today refuses to fully answer questions and continues to specialize in strategic coverup rather than self-reform.
It was the confluence of events that drove it home. When Simone Biles hit that triple-double somersault, when fencer Race Imboden took a knee and hammer thrower Gwen Berry raised a first on those medal podiums, it made something suddenly very clear: There is not a single person in the USOPC who has the moral authority to impose discipline on an athlete.
