Olympic Athlete Activism

Olympic athlete activism refers to athletes using their platforms during the Games to promote social, political, or environmental causes. This can include gestures like wearing symbols, making speeches, or protesting during events to raise awareness and advocate for change. While some see it as a powerful way to influence public opinion, others view it as controversial, given the Olympic ideals of neutrality and unity. Overall, it embodies athletes leveraging their visibility to address important issues beyond sports.
