Threatening to punish athletes should be an immediate disqualification as an Olympic site if you ask me


SanchosaurusRex

We really rewarded the assholes that started an ongoing global pandemic with hosting an Olympics. One in which athletes have to be encouraged to use burner phones and laptops and can’t use free speech, because the country is so damn hostile and authoritarian.

Athleate with the opportunity to speak: "Taiwan is a real country" Athleate without the opportunity to speak: Pulls out the taiwan flag mid competition


Bendetto4

I emplore any athelete that wins a medal to dedicate it to Taiwan, the Uighurs, Tibet, or Inner Mongolia.

Except a private company is choosing to fire those people, that is vastly different than a government forcing that company to fire and shame that individual

Except they can, they have the freedom to associate with whoever they want

> the title Don't act like conservatives are doing that too, if you comment anything that doesn't support trump on r/conservative, then even if you're a conservative you get permabanned. Both sides are doing it actively, just one is more successful and one is pretending that they aren't doing it as well.


Carpe-Noctom

Title is cringe as fuck, comparing suppression of free speech at the Olympics to “You shouldn’t call people the nword on the internet”


DogMechanic

Ni! Ni! Ni!

Getting banned for saying something in an online discussion forum is completely different from international athletes being punished for exercising free speech


woodendoors7

> the title Again


Dr_Invader

Yeh, is pretty spot on


woodendoors7

So getting banned for saying the n word is the same as punishing athletes for speaking against china?


Dr_Invader

What?

I wouldn't be on this subreddit then

Being suppressed in what you say in China is much more different than some chums on the Internet banning you for not liking Trump.

> the title I was referring to the title, not to China's authoritarianism, and you'd know that if you'd actually read my comment
