Remembrance is not a violation.

IOC bans an Ukrainian athlete from participating because his helmet has photos of Ukrainian athletes killed in Putin's war of imperial conquest…
…and at the same time the official Olympics shop happily sells the 1936 Hitler Olympics merch.

@rysiek IOC sympathises with the criminals! Now I can't even watch the illympics.
😓
Remembering is an act of rebellion.
@rysiek I mean the IOC did let Hitler put on a full Nazi themed Olympics in 1936... So yeah not a great track record when it comes to sane decisions
