The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee provided further details Tuesday about acceptable forms of protest during the U.S. Olympic Trials after it announced in December athletes wouldn't be punished for advocating causes related to social justice.
Eddie Pells of the Associated Press reported raising a fist, kneeling during the national anthem and wearing hats or face masks with phrases such as "Black Lives Matter" or words such as "equality" or "justice" will be allowed.
Anti-Defamation League-defined hate symbols will be barred, and athletes aren't allowed to impact the competition in any way in order to protest, like laying down on the track during a race.
