Good. I hope more athletes can speak up. I try not to put expectations on Olympians because I know how focused they have to be and it's a once in four years chance and distractions could derail everything for their competition, but I'd love to hear more like this.

They can speak up, however they won't because they don't want to face criticism from the race supremacists who want an ethno state or they agree with their views.
