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.

May their rating fall faster than a diseased Yaks poop.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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.
