He and other American athletes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/anthony-ervin-on-olympic-rule-50-thats-not-going-to-fly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have come out against Rule 50 of the IOC charter<\/a>, which forbids speech of a political nature during official Olympic ceremonies or on the fields of competition. That catchall term of \u201cpolitical\u201d encompasses, to the dismay of many, statements about human rights, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-athletes-letter-on-ioc-rule-50-we-will-no-longer-be-silenced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">many athletes have increasingly been vocal about<\/a> in light of many issues surfacing during the last year, including protests against systemic inequality and police brutality in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Such was the resistance in the U.S. that the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee underwent a review of its policies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usopc-give-athletes-latitude-on-racial-and-social-demonstrations-in-new-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drastically loosening the limits on athlete expression at Olympic Trials<\/a>. It still defers jurisdiction to the IOC, and thus Rule 50, at the Olympics and Paralympics.<\/p>\n<p>Ervin\u2019s video showed the soon-to-be 40-year-old expressing his eloquently poetic thoughts on the matter:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Are you to be atop that podium in those moments, for those few moments, you will lead your country. You want to take a knee? Lead us by taking a knee. You want raise a fist? Lead us by raising a fist. You want to cry tears of joy? Lead us with your tears. You want to sing? Lead us with your song. Nobody gets to tell you how to lead. You must decide.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anthony Ervin has reached the top step in the podium twice as an individual, winning the men\u2019s 50 freestyle at the 2000 Olympics and 2016 Games.
