In its 125 years of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) history, one of the mantras has been Olympics and Politics do not mix. Many countries and athletes have experienced the IOC wrath for expressing political views and/or advancing political ideas. Today, the IOC states “No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.” This talk will discuss the question, should the Olympic athletes be allowed to protest or not?
