Does awarding hosting rights to a totalitarian
state amount to legal or moral endorsement of that regime?
Should states hosting the Olympics be legally required
to guarantee civil and political rights as a condition of
participation?
Can modern Olympic sponsorship models be traced
back to the propaganda-driven business strategies of
1936?
Did the 1936 Olympics violate civil society principles
through the exclusion and persecution of Jewish
athletes?
Did civil society fail to effectively oppose the use of
sport as a propaganda tool in 1936?
Do athletes have a moral duty to refuse participation in
events hosted by regimes that violate human rights?
Did the 1936 Berlin Games set a lasting precedent for
how mega-events can be used to whitewash political
repression?
Did Jesse Owens’ victories do more to challenge Nazi
ideology than international legal action could have?
Should athletes and civil society have a formal legal role
in determining which nations are suitable Olympic hosts?
