Three-time Olympian Lolo Jones said political activism at this year’s Tokyo Olympics has viewership way down, noting that there needs be a “delicate balance” between politics and sports.

“I think sometimes people just want to tune in to watch sports, to just watch sports, and they’re not there for the political side of it,” Jones told Fox News.

Ms. Jones hits the nail right square on its head. 

“But then on the athlete’s side, the athletes are like, ‘this is the biggest platform I’ve ever had and I want to speak my causes,'” the athlete added. ...

True, but ... athletes are sent there to compete in the games, NOT attempt to preach and browbeat others about political causes.

So, pick your battleground ... compete quietly and graciously and be cheered by your countrymen, or make an ass out of yourself and be shunned by your countrymen.
