Olympic Athlete Advocates

Most Olympics athletes are completely focused on their sport.

But some use their high profile to promote human rights and charitable causes. Here are a few of those: Anna Rice Joey Cheek, Rosanna Tomiuk, Brian and Dennis Stever.

Ideally I would like athletes not to advocate while on the field of play. Or podium. But at all other times they should be free to speak their minds.

China, I think, was very, very lucky not to have more vocal athlete protesters at the Olympics.
