The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has directed national sports bodies to comply with Trump’s executive order banning transgender women from women’s sports, citing federal obligations.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

    there already is, the anti-ICE protests in LA mentioned boycotting them because the Olympics are gonna be used as an excuse to deport a fuckton of homeless people, immigrants and non-white people out of the city, with the mayor’s approval

    While that’s good, that isn’t where I’m coming at it from. I mean movements in other countries to pull their teams from the games.
