She knew very well that it would lead to disqualification, but used her platform in a much more powerful way than continuing in the competition. Big respect, she's a badass.

It says she lost and wouldn't have continued anyway.

I'd wager she decided on doing it before she lost her round.

So why is Israel allowed to play a song called oct 7th for one of their routines?

The west, the self proclaimed "civilized peacekeepers" of the modern world, funds and allows Israel to genocide without any repercussions, while the whole world watches on. You think they wouldn't allow a song?

A "Refugee Breaker"? Is that a new discipline to break refugees? Or is this like being a Peeble streamer on Doop?

PS:"breaker" refers to someone who breakdances. I had no ideas this even became an olympic discipline!

At least the Streisand effect gets to do its job this way.

Of all the things this Olympics has done wrong, this is barely a blip
