If you’ve wondered whether there’ll be kneeling at the Tokyo Olympics, here’s news you can use.
As reported by Reuters Wednesday, following a consultation with athletes, the International Olympic Committee has decided against it.
The edict bans both kneeling and raising fists into the air.
Per Rule 50, there’ll be no “demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda.”
That goes for event venues and any other Olympic areas.
Reuters notes there’ve been calls to reverse the rule, in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Some have said Olympians should be able to gesture in favor of their preferred cause.
