... given the way that the US is treating visitors from other countries ...

... that the 2026 FIFA World Cup planned to be hosted by Mexico, USA, Canada will be changed to delete or limit games in the US?

... that the 2028 Summer Olympics planned to be hosted by the Los Angeles and other venues will be moved to another country?

... that if these games happen in the US, some of the best athletes will not participate by choice or by force?

I find that exceptionally unlikely. These athletes train full time for years for their one moment in the sun. Winning guarantees them endorsements, fame, speaking circuit engagements. To pass up that to make a political statement that won’t even be talked about after a week or so seems far fetched.

More likely they compete and try to win, then make a political statement when their voice is amplified.

That is if they are allowed into the US.

Let's hope the statements are good.

Will they be worthy of Yoga Moms on Facebook?

OR would they be worthy of----um-----not losing to Trump TWICE because of the same old Woke Liberal shit?

Paging Liberals who pretend to want "Democracy!" - - on some things you gotta stand firm and bring the voters to you but ---in a "democracy!" in some cases, you gotta respect will of your citizens too.

Except that if they are not, that immediately gives them a huge vert news worthy platform from which to make an even stronger statement!
