burning olympics in protest against the rise of naziism in the country. 3 decades later sprinters john carlos and tommy smith brought american civil rights issues into the mexico olympics, raising their fist in a black power salute. they were fighting the same fight as boxing champion. mohammed lee lee was a force in the ring and had heavy weight communication skills modified a legal. but if you notice, i'm then the most persecuted. he brought those skills to issues like racial inequality and the war in vietnam. but sports stars have paid the price for their activism. when a li refused to fight in vietnam, he was strict of his title embarked from fighting for 3 of his prime years. sprinters, carlos and smith were dropped from the us track team, and more recently nfl quarterback calling copper, nick, lost his job for silently protesting social injustice. no other team has touched him since me. when confronted with politics, the sports industry finds itself compromised. it's wary of upsetting conservative audiences. a position summed up in the ninety's by basketball superstar and the face of sp

arguably the most famous bit of athlete activism, middle lympics came in 1968 when told me smith and john carlos raised their face. the blank power salutes at those games at the time that would kicks out of the games. they will ostracized by the us olympic committee. subsequently, their efforts have been champion extended. the official, i see museum in law is an work on human rights is now champion then their actions of the games is now celebrated, but still here we are in 2021. such an action is still banned. so it's going to be very interesting in the coming days to see how far athletes are prepared to push that particular rolling. ok. and now the south african men football team have had a nervous way ahead of their opening match against japan. what more can you tell us? it was a game is now actually going ahead. south africa's football team have had a really sorry time coming into these olympics. they lost players in before they traveled to, to carry you to positive covered 19 sets on saturday to play as and part of that coaching staff tested positive. it meant a team players with an identifi

john carlos and gwen berry were part of a group of athletes, educators, activists, and organizers whoenned the letter to the ioc foregoing punishments for athletes to demonstrate at the olympics. the ioc partially rollback rule 50 allowing participants to raise their fist or take a knee as long as it happens before the event begins. those who demonstrate on the medal stand are still subject to punishment. the writers of the letter remained critical of the ioc. i am going to bring a little bit from that letter to you. here is what the letter says. we emphasize that neutrality is never neutral. as a reflection of society at large, white supremacy and racism, sexism, able is him -- ablesim, to name a few. systemic injustice is implemented into every fabric of the institutions governing global sports. to eradicate them they must proactively review the policies, practices and procedures that make up their existence and reinforce systemic injustices. staying neutral means staying silent and staying silent means of supporting ongoing injustice. that comes from a letter written to the interna

back to the history of protest at the olympics, we talked about john carlos in 1968, the limits haveeen a forum for protest. they go back to 1906, the first protest was staged at the 1906 lynn picks in athens. the second place finisher in the long jump, peter o'connor, unfurled a large, green flag with a shamrock and the words ireland forever. ever since the brutal invasion of ireland by oliver cromwell, there has been no concorde between england overlords and the irish. for o'connor, the olympics were an opportunity to draw attention to this injustice. guest: back then, that was an actual issue that was tangible and something you could point to that actually existed. host: but is it a historical, acceptable form of protest? guest: it might be. it just depends on the main issue that a lot of people have these days, what are you protesting and how are you protesting? and the fact that it seems to be mostly americans who are protesting when we are the freest and least oppressive country in the world. caller: i'd like to know what is your background? what is your experience? host: befor

a big change, obviously, from more than 50 years ago when john carlos and tommy smith were expelled for in your view, is that the right way to go? >> think they should allow them to express themselves at any time. these guys -- these guys and girls have sacrificed so much to get to this point and they fight through and they actually win and i think they should be able to express themselves any way that they want, but i think they are happy that they've obviously changed their stance with them allowing them to kneel and things like that to show gestures, but i think they should be able to show it all the way through. when you're at that level and that's the way you want to express yourself you should be able to do that. >> i want to talk about a popular athlete, i and millions of people was looking forward to seeing in these olympics and that's sha'carri richardson, and you are in another career, cannabis industry, you wrote a letter to usa track and field. what compelled you to write that letter. you're in the business, but you're also an athlete. >> definitely, man, for me it was so ma

let me in on this. 1968 medallist tommy smith, relevant to your book, and john carlos have signed onthat threaten to punish athletes for protesting, or demonstrating on the the medal postums at the olympics. i wonder what your read on that is as someone who spends so much time studying this intersection? >> i think there are two ways to look at it. rule 50 is prevent politics from invading this space that sees it self-as being an apolitical space. but the olympics are not apolitical. we just watched 200 delegations entering holding flags. that is inherently political. so we have a tension of what is and is not allowed within the space of sport. and they create this rare spotlight that they have and they want to use it as they see fit. on the other hand if there is no consequence or punishment for doing that within the olympic rules, is it a protest? if it is allowed or does it have the same meaning? >> that is an interesting point. amy bass, thank you so much for being with us and enjoy the next few weeks. i'm looking forward to watching. >> thank you. >>> thank you to all of you for
