Do athletes protest at the Olympic Games?

So China is not that nice to some people is common knowledge.


So if you are going to compete at the Olympics should you mention anything about the dodgy things they get upto?? Well just remember the guys in 1968 at the Olympic Games in Mexico, who had some balls:

After the games, the Olympic committee banned them from ever competing again and they found it very difficult to get work?

I wouldn’t expect much from the athletes. Those who are against China being chosen have already decided to drop out 4 years ago, in my view a much less effective action than the Mexico protests.
n any case, don’t forget who made the decision to go there in the first place. The IOC and it’s delegates, all in the interests of the cash from a huge population in a growing economy.
Don’t expect the athletes to give up their relatively meager livelihoods when their fat cat representatives were too weak to do so years ago.
