Sorry, thought I could paste the article but couldn’t figure out how. Perhaps someone can help.
An athlete from the US team took a knee on the awards podium of the Pan Am games to symbolize his frustration re: “ rascism, gun control, the mistreatment of immigrants, and a President who spreads hate.” He was censored by the Pan Am officials. Once again we see the lack of respect demonstrated by a self centered individual who apparently thinks his personal beliefs trump ( no pun intended ) the honor and prestige being bestowed by an organization.
Another athlete also took the opportunity to make a political statement of similar vein.
