The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee will allow raised fists and kneeling during the national anthem at upcoming Olympic trials. (AP Photo/File)The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee will not sanction athletes for raising their fists or kneeling during the national anthem at Olympic trials, previewing a contentious policy it expects to stick to when many of those same athletes head to Tokyo this summer. The International Olympic Committee's Rule 50 is an ongoing source of friction across the globe. Many U.S. athletes have spearheaded the call for more freedom in using their platform at the Olympics to advance social justice causes. Their raised fists on the medals stand in Mexico City led to the seminal snapshot of social protest in sports history.

Gwen Berry won a humanitarian award Wednesday for raising social justice issues in the United States — a journey that began in 2019 when she raised her fist on the medals stand at the Pan-Am Games during the national anthem. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee placed Berry on probation for her actions after winning a gold medal in August 2019. Berry was an outspoken skeptic of the USOPC when it took steps to deal with social injustice issues in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing in May.

The Borders Report, spearheaded by former WNBA Commissioner Lisa Borders and released last summer, included a detailed road map for the USOPC to make athletes the top priority after years of adhering to what was described as a money for medals philosophy. The two efforts are largely moving along parallel tracks, though the congressional bill has some features, including giving lawmakers the ability to remove the entire USOPC board, that go beyond any suggestion from the Borders Report. The Borders report card acknowledged the new challenges but didn't dismiss what had already been accomplished.

The USOPC on Monday released its annual tax form, which showed $54 million more in expenses than revenues for 2019 a typical overrun in a non-Olympic year following a Winter Games. In the refashioned 2019 Impact Report, the USOPC included sports benefit statements for 61 NGBs it oversees. In the past, the USOPC tax form would list the amount of direct support in the form of grants it provided each organization. As an example, by looking only at the line item on the tax form, it can easily be seen that the USOPC gave USA Gymnastics $2.22 million in grant funding last year. In other areas, the USOPC increased funding to the U.S. Center for SafeSport by $3 million, to $7.5 million, in 2019.
