People Are Pressuring the Olympic Committee to Help Shut Down China's Uyghur Camps - VICE

will there be "considerable debate" this time around?

from Wikipedia:

"...there was a considerable debate over whether the United States should participate in the 1936 Games. Mahoney, the president of the Amateur Athletic Union, led newspaper editors and anti-Nazi groups to protest against American participation in the Berlin Olympics. He contested that racial discrimination was a violation of Olympic rules and that participation in the Games was tantamount to support for the Third Reich."
