Olympics to include athletes kneeling in highlights

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced Thursday that it will include images of players taking a knee in highlights and social media, after the photos were originally excluded, the Associated Press reported.

Players on five different teams took a knee to protest racial injustice Wednesday, marking the first time in-game protests were allowed at the Olympics, the AP reported.

Lots of people protesting outside the Stadium during the Opening Ceremonies,  I hope they shut it down.

It's not like I have a great desire to watch the Olympics in the first place. It looks like the IOC is going out of their way to dissuade me from watching any of their semi-worthless events.
