NBC is in trouble because it already purchased the US rights to every Olympics through 2032. Because leftism is a quasi-religion don’t look for the IOC to reinstate its protest ban for its athletes any time soon.

You know you bring up an interesting question that I have pondered many times. The question I keep pondering is what if someone like Adolf Hitler came along today? Back in the times of WWII, 6 million Jewish men, women and children were murdered. Would there be more murdered today? Would there be so many "conscientious objectors" that nothing could be done? Would there be so many protestors that nothing would actually be done about the murders? Would no one do anything until there was actually an attack on American soil? What in fact would happen?

I  frankly don't know, don't care.

But...this IS bizarre...do they do this before every olympics or are they just more open and brazen about it now than in the past.

The first known Olympics were held in the summer of 776 B.C. at Olympia, a site in southern Greece where people went to worship their gods. In fact, the Olympics were created in honor of ancient Greece's most famous god: Zeus, king of the gods.
