Sunday, 2 May 2021 On the advice of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Athletes' Commission, the IOC Executive Board last week resolved to continue to censor athletes who participate in peaceful protest at the Olympic Games, especially in the most powerful spaces of the podium and the arena. Patronisingly, the censorship is now coupled with scripting, with the IOC endorsing the use of the words, "peace, respect, solidarity, inclusion and equality." In the words of Bernice King, chief executive of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, "Inclusion does not = equity. Diversity does not = justice. Tolerance does not = love. Silence does not = peace."
