IOC sells nazi paraphernalia, huh
And communist merch too, if you want to be an edgelord about it.
Fuck off Nazi apologist.
How are those things at all equivalent
The 1936, 1980 and 2008 games all feature in the range. Almost like it’s a commemoration of Olympiads not the people who hosted them.
But why the supposition that games hosted by Communist led countries are “bad” like the Nazi games?
If you want to get technical, all the games are bad because they extract vast amount of resources from people who live in the host city and leave behind unusable infrastructure. Also, the corruption. So much corruption.
I’m sorry, what now?
You stole my words. Though mine had more expletives.
Fuck shit I’m fucking sorry, motherfucking what now goddammit… bitch
This looks like ragebait. No picture of the shirt, but three pictures with swastikas, plus random trump twitter posts.
The shirt itself:
I’m not sure why anyone would want one except to be an edgelord but there’s nothing obviously offensive on it.
I guess it’s for the US Reich customers.
Time to make our own Olympic shirts.
Owens salutes the American flag after winning the long jump at the 1936 Summer Olympics. (L–R) Naoto Tajima, Owens, Luz Long.
Here’s another shirt design I’d wear.
All three were heroes.
What’s often missed is that Peter Norman, the white guy on podium, encouraged Carlos and Smith to take a stand, and he was the one who had the idea to wear a glove each, since they only had one pair.
Norman’s role in the protest led to him never being selected to represent Australia again, even though he was at the peak of a brilliant career in running. He qualified for the 1972 Olympics, yet was mysteriously not picked to go.
The three men remained close friends, Carlos and Smith were pallbearers at Norman’s funeral in 2006.
(I hate to be the one making the Black rights protest about the white guy. He paid dearly for his role, and I also hate to think he’s remembered as the third wheel on that podium.)
I don’t think it’s making it about the white guy to honor his actions decades later. Or even a few years later.
He may not have faced oppression for his race or gender, but he did put himself aside for a greater cause and that is commendable. Sounds like a pretty good role model, in fact.
I’ve seen the photo without knowing that much about it, so thank you for sharing.
Fun fact: the Nazi salute was copied from the American pledge of allegiance (Roman) salute, which went out of fashion in response to Nazi use.
It’s almost as if the USA has been a fun blueprint for a starting point for fascists world wide for some time. Thankfully it has (so far) not reached any of their terrible end games!
I think there’s a good amount of people boycotting this games because they’re letting Israel participate so this t shirt promoting another genocidal right wing government makes sense. 2026 Olympics make genocide great again
Israel + nazi symbolics? It’s like mentos + soda:)
Not really they are both far right countries that committed genocide based on their beliefs in their version of white supremacy. Zionists believe in their genetic superiority it is a supremacy movement and very much follows the same type of settler colonialist pseudoscience that fueled the justification of the genocide committed during ww2. This is worse because the world is sitting on their hands watching an entire people who were captive in an illegal occupation be systematically slaughtered while all humanitarian aid is being withheld
I can’t help but notice that the Sochi 2014 design is still available.
took them 90 years
Couldn’t find the shirt. Is this real? I can only find 2026 merch
This is fucking despicable.
