Olympic Soccer Players Kick Off Tokyo Games By Taking A Knee

But, the IOC eased up on its rules leading up to Tokyo ... allowing athletes to"express their views" before or after the competition, as long as it is not disruptive or targeted against specific people, countries or organizations.

Members of Great Britain's and Chile's women's soccer teams took advantage of the relaxed policy by getting on one knee before their opening match at the Sapporo Dome hours ago ... a demonstration that would have resulted in harsh punishment if the amended rules didn't come into play.Team USA and Sweden also dropped to one knee before their match ... as well as Australia and New Zealand.

The 2020 Games are just getting started ... so expect other sports and athletes to join in on the movement as well.

I don’t bother with Olympics anymore

How’s that working for you! lose

🤣🤣🤔then taking an ass whoppin

Why they lost great job USA

Karma. They lost.

Not all kneeled… and it wasn’t during an anthem. They only play the country’s anthem if you WIN!!

Republicans mad over taking the knee cause it disrespectful to the flag more upset over this than the American flag being used as weapons against the police on Jan 6th. I will always cheer for Americans to win at the Olympics like a patriot does.

Good for them let em do what ever they want, land of the Free

And got their asses kicked! Karma is a bitch!

I only knew because you told me. In other words, no-one cares and few are watching.

Awesome Americans, taking a stand for the rights of all their fellow countryman.

Shameful in my opinion…

And the L hahahhahahahha

And they lost, haha

Why don’t they just leave USA if they don’t like it?

Powerful.

And hopefully they hold the L.

Not this again

What was the outcome of this game?

Goddam, the ignorance in this thread is golden.

Injustice? No one will ever be happy. So can we just keep it moving.
