1 Answer

Answer :

People won’t like my answer, but I’m giving it anyway. By being in the Olympics you are representing your country. Save your distaste for how you think your country is handling things for a different platform, such as a peaceful March or rally. The olympics is a place for the best of the best athletes to show their skills. If you are unhappy with your country or hate your country, don’t represent them. No one is making you perform.
