Tokyo Olympics athletes will NOT be allowed to wear"Black Lives Matter" apparel at Games ceremonies this summer ... officials have confirmed that's part of the ban on protests and political messages.
Officials, though, say"BLM" slogans will be allowed during at least some parts of the Games -- such as at press conferences, during interviews and at team meetings.
Althetes agree...
Good. We just want to see people compete. Keep shitty opinions and politics out of sports. There is a reason the NBA ratings are plummeting for allowing that crap. Nobody wants to see that. We just want to see people compete.
Black Olympians should show in BLM gear, from head to toe. WTF you gonna do about it?
The issues of the USA aren't the issues of the rest of the world. And i thought it was well known by now that Japan's hella xenophobic either way 👉
Don't worry, AsiansAreHuman StopAsianHate and AsianLivesMatter is banned too. Right? Right?
Simone_Biles please rock the eff out of a BLM Leo in Tokyo!!!!
I apologize for dropping this here but if anyone sees this please donate or boost
But they'll allow Wear Pink for Breast Cancer though, right? BLM underscores a public health emergency, but I guess Black health isn't worth a damn.
Agreed!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 No politics in Olympics. Me, as asian, just want to enjoy sport game. Thank you Japan 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Non white athletes should all protest or even boycott.
But allow to wear proud boys polo shirt.
The BLM clan might aswell wear KKK apparel that’s how much hate they spew
WHOA TOKYO OLYMPICS ATHLETES BARRED from WEARING BLACK LIVES MATTER apparel (May 6, 2021; 20:50 EDT) BLACKLIVESMATTER TOKYOOLYMPICS
I guess it's bad enough that Black people are going to be beating them in their own country. They just don't won't us to rub it in.
ALL THE ANTI ASIAN CRIMES ARE COMMITTED BY AFRICAN AMERICAN! So I guess black only matters in their moto !
Anti Black continued around the world
no black should be watching and No self-respecting black athletes should be participating in the fuck shit Olympics.
How about all black athletes boycott the Olympics then and watch the ratings will tank
Will the United States respond?
How do you bar athletes from wearing apparel that reflects a true and moral statement? Smh
Black people shouldn’t participate....that simple
Don’t participate
Lol 😂 ok so ima wear a hoodie that say BLM ✊🏿
It's about time someone stands up to the racist groups......the Olympics is not a place for political agendas!
Still gone throw the fist up in the air.🦅
Well looks like there's no reason to deal with thee Olympics
More lessons
You’ll see things about Asian hate though watch...if you all wanna bow to white supremacy that’s on you...but black folks won’t
The US better back out!!!
All black Olympians should boycott.
Fuck Japan!!
Blacks are the ones getting all the medals, they must boycott the olympics ! The olympics have always been racist against blacks because they are better athletes!
Shoutout to that 'People of Color solidarity' I'm always hearing about and never seeing lol
That’s straight fucking BS right here smh
Just so y’all know I am NOT racist and never have been. I just get tired of the shit, it’s like all of us, all races have to walk on glass because we can’t say stuff like we could 10 years ago or even 5 years ago, there goes freedom of speech.
They said all political wear and speech is banned at the ceremonies, not just BLM. You guys don’t sleep.
Whilst Asian lives matter was trending not too long ago
We are here for the competition not the the division. So many awesome athletes of different races, culture and countries they don’t need distractions.
Athletes are either forced to wear uniforms they compete in order tracksuits for their country to get medals, it's always been like that, stop making a mountain out of a molehill
Lol at the Olympics pretending to be apolitical. Things the IOC cares about: Money Things the IOC doesn’t care about: Anything that isn’t money
BLM circus isn't a Japanese problem nor should Americans bring their toxic problems to Tokyo. I'm glad that Japan is putting their foot down and taking a no nonsense approach.
It’s nuts how that statement and masks have become so politicized. Of course Black Lives Matter. Why aren’t people allowed to say so?
Another country not down with terrorism...
Good
Well fuck it, well sit this out..
I 💯 agree on this, only because the people that are watching won’t be distracted because of the BLM shirts or hats or whatever. Let’s focus on the olympics and get back to some sort of normalcy if we can. BLM is a great statement but let’s keep political out of the games.
Good. Don't let the terrorists win.
Some bullshit
Thats a GOOD thing. Dont need violent Marxist advertising.
I'm okay with this ruling and it bans all politically motivated protests. It's a time for us to watch athletes compete on a global platform and the focus should be on them.
Good
L
Punish Black athletes at the Olympics? For demanding equality? Yea okay. They’ll be more popular and richer than ever. This is gonna backfire on they asses BIG TIME
🥴
watch this kid hes funny asf
I support BLM, but I also support this as well. Side note..is it called the 2020 games or 2021: the 2020 games?
Why? Why the anti-blackness when black folks be the main ones getting all the medals?
Tell me again about the corresponding stop Asian hate bill in America? Black people are hated globally.........
Good.
This is the 5th time they posted this in 48 hours. Wake up ppl!! If you don’t realize what tmz is trying to do you’re delusional. Tmz is the scum of the media, worse than cnn and Fox combined.
No surprise here. American issues aren't a global problem.
So an intentional sporting body doesn't want to promote a US based, leftist marketing campaign toward a political power grab? Gee, I wonder why not?
Because black people are racist towards Asians.
No surprise there
Japan and the world owes nothing to BLM
Oh yeah… field of play huh😫 I would think it would make players play harder💯 Aren’t the black b4 being an athlete⁉️…..
Great news! The Olympics are about uniting people, political statements divide people. Keep politics out of sport. Olympicsfreefrompolitics
I for one will be glad to see something that doesn't involve politics. The Olympics are about all the nations coming together to peacefully compete. When you throw politics into the mix it only creates division.
Good, nobody wants to see that trash anyways. 🤷🏽♀️ALM!!!!!!!!!! ✊🏻
Who is watching the Olympics? It's OK that they took this stance because very few black people watch it anyway and most people know that these Eastern countries are pretty racist. Let them have their rules and just don't watch if it upsets you.
Thank god. All lives matter! Can’t believe you BLM idiots bought you’re cult leader new houses 😂
Respect
Good
About time someone had balls
GOOD!!!!
Good
'Stop Asian Hate' is allowed.
I still can't believe people still comment on things before reading g the article. Pure fucking ignorance! That is part of the problem. You know the media likes to manipulate headlines.
Will stop Asian hate be allowed ?
Also no one with black athletes should go to this
Black athletes should wear a shirt that says I matter.
People can protest before and after the game. I don’t want to see it during the ceremonies or competitions.
Here we go!!! Olympic community starting controversy...
Are they allowed to wear StopAsianHate apparel?
Of course Asians hate black people don’t wanna do anything to make the white people they love so much mad
Good. Any athlete who has a problem with it can stay home and give the spot to someone who'll appreciate being there.
Don’t go then.
That's discrimination
Finally someone with backbone
FYI China doesn't like blacks as well, which amazes me that the NBA and players bow to them.
It’s all the beatings the black people have been giving to the Asians. This is the actual race war. Kareem vs Bruce Lee round 2. Fight!
Why
keep politics out of sports
damn the olympics and the nation of japan are anti-blacks?
