Quite an easy out, let the people that have to risk their whole professional careers be the ones if they want to do it. This way big important people with huge salaries don't have to risk consequences, they can just threat the athletes to assume full responsibility for their personal decisions...

If athletes want to protest why go to an athletic event? Stay at home and hate on your country where it will make the most of the divisive impact they are looking for.
