The IOC says athlete protests and political messages will remain banned.

We’re not the only country shitting on its populace. Having every country virtue signaling at the Olympics would take another ceremony.

Yes it is, R8! The entirety of the world knows that football is ⚽️, not 🏈, which is why 🏈 is known as American football, because it's not actually real football ⚽️ and needs a descriptor.

Football is the game in which you actually use your feet to play.
Except for field goals and extra points, American Football doesn’t allow you to use your feet to touch the ball.

I guess when you have African nations taking part, they may question some black people from a rich country exclaiming how hard their lives are... while wearing sports clothing that most people, white or black, couldn't afford.

They actually polled athletes before doing this.
