After Bullying MLB Into Boycotting Atlanta, Biden Admin Tells Corporations That Sponsoring Communist China’s Olympics Is Just Fine
December 10, 2021 By Jordan Boyd
The Biden administration is refusing to discourage companies from sponsoring the February 2022 Olympic games hosted by Communist China even though it spent weeks demanding that companies react to Georgia’s election integrity law by boycotting the state.
The White House already announced it would not send any U.S. government officials to the upcoming Olympics due to Communist China’s “egregious human rights abuses” but expressed their “full support” for the U.S. athletes who plan to compete. The Biden administration also appears to have no problem with companies involving themselves with the Olympic games.
“What individual companies do is entirely up to them. We’re not going to pressure them one way or another,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told Bloomberg. “So if a company decides — as many companies have — that they want to make a statement against human rights abuses, then that would be great. But we’re not going to be pushing anyone to make that decision.”
