Episode 22 - Politics and Sports, Should They Be Mixed?

National Crawford Roundtable - A podcast by Bob Dutko, Neil Boron, Roger Marsh, John Rush - Wednesdays

In this episode the Roundtable discusses the International Olympic Committee's decision to ban all political statements, like National Anthem Kneeling, hand gestures, etc. during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Should Olympic competition silence free speech and dissent? Is there an appropriate time or place during a sporting event for political protest? Are sports being ruined by open political opinions like booing the president taking a knee, or sports celebrities becoming political commentators?
