No, i did not argue that. I do think she is being censored, but our disagreement is that I think it is acceptable. I'm sorry, but she should have known that "joking" about a deadly virus being well fed with all the Africans around is a stupid, stupid thing to say, especially if she wanted to be on the team. There are codes of action, and this is one of them. She should have to abide by that if she wants to be included. The other athletes are going around following the acceptable behavior, and so should she. I would like to walk in and call my boss an ass, but I can't do that either. Is that incorrect censorship, or is that me breaking the workplace rules?


And how did she not know that could happen? I do not believe she had no idea she could be punished. She has to take responsibility for that, IMO.


I don't really disagree with that, but a case could be made that says she used fame she has gained by qualifying for the Olympics to get her words out there, and that that platform should have the right to distance itself from any sort of unfavorable political statements. Would we be talking about this at all if she weren't famous BECAUSE of the Olympics?


See above. I do think they have the right not to let her use them to say something they oppose. She can say it elsewhere, and should have waited to share these things if she wanted to be a part of their team.
