Join us and tell your reps how you feel!
Welcome to Friday, July 23rd, golds and bronzes...
The Olympics aspire to bring out the best in humanity through a celebration of athletic achievement and international cooperation.
But as history has shown, when so many countries get together in one place things can get pretty political.
The U.S. has been sending athletes to the Olympics since 1896, and on several occasions, global and domestic politics overshadowed the sporting side of the Games.
As this year's Summer Olympics commence in Tokyo, Japan, we’ve recapped five of the times when politics trumped sports at the Olympics.
Hong Kong Democracy Activists Fear Potential 'Exit Bans'

Exit bans have become increasingly prevalent in mainland China for use against citizens and foreigners, including Americans.

Keep politics out of sport, especially when the athletes represent the USA. They should not be sponsored by the USA committees. They do not represent all citizens and should not be on the team even if they are number 1 in their field of competition.
Politics needs stay out of sports period. And for the refugees only women and children, the men need to stay/go back and fight against the democratic socialism in China that’s oppressing them.
A simple yes
