Before the current Tokyo Games, the rules regarding the Olympics were changed: the International Olympic Committee forbids all kinds of political and ideological opinion formation during the competitions and during the medal ceremony, while it allows political statements in the Olympic village and in interviews. However, not everyone liked this new regulation, reports 888.hu.
A gymnast from Costa Rica, Luciana Alvarado, presented a political performance at the end of her practice: she knelt and clenched her fists in tribute to BLM. On Friday, Alvarado said that kneeling was part of his choreography to highlight the importance of equal rights on the global stage, because we are all the same and we are all beautiful and wonderful.
This was Alvarado's only performance, as he did not make it to the final with his practice, so he is unlikely to be punished for his political demonstration, Breitbart wrote.
That's the news. If it has news value at all. A stupid production by a nameless gymnast, that's all and nothing more. But it is worth thinking about for a few thoughts.
Once a political statement is prohibited, how can anyone afford to violate the prohibition? So that there are cases when there are serious consequences for almost nothing, and there are cases when the person who seriously breaks the rules does not have to fear any kind of retribution. If, for example, any of the Hungarians were to do this, we could be angry that they would be banned for a long time. They are not afraid of Hungary, but they are rightly afraid of the BLM gang.
The Hungarian stadium can be banned for three matches because someone dared to write his opinion rejecting the rainbow players on a molino, even though there was only one spectator. It is certain that if the Hungarian soccer players kneel in BLM fashion, the dog would not care either. If we don't create a child protection law, you could have even written that...but I won't write that because it's an ugly word.
According to Breitbart – and unfortunately they are probably right – there will be no consequences for the show-off gymnast's violation of the rules, as he was eliminated from the competition. So what? According to them, those who are eliminated are exempt from the consequences? But our national team was also eliminated at the EC, do we still have to be beaten into the ground?
A hundred words have the same ending: the international sports organizations are also becoming more and more vile - respect for the exceptions that still exist. And we have to learn again and again that everyone is equal - except for the more equal. This is our brave new world…
