So who wants to take bets on some athlete who
wins a gold medal, will unfurl a banner hidden in
his tracksuit, raise it over his head on live TV
that reads 'Free Tibet'?
This will then put said athlete into the halls of
protester fame up along with the guys doing the Black
Panther salute at the Mexico Olympics in 68.
It could happen. It'd be just as likely for an athlete to come out in solidarity with the world's poor.
In China, "Free Tibet or Free Taiwan" are fighting words.
