Should have been the same in the match between Argentina and Morocco
As it was a Moroccan supporters who threw things into the field.

I was going to say they need to be careful about who wins events as to not upset the really bad actors. Wouldn't want Notre Dame to spontaneously combust again. Instead, today Team Middle East enters the arena without provocation from any Olympic event whatsoever.

Just my gut reaction, really really hoping it's not a reaction to the left changing up the rules in order to stay in power

RAPIST SHUNNED Paris Olympics volleyball star who raped Brit girl he groomed online is BANISHED from athletes’ village after outrage

Once a rapist, always a rapist, this Currant shouldn't ever have been given the chance to compete in National or International top level sport ever again after what he's done.
As for the Dutch Olympic Committee including this bastard in their team, I'd say they were more concerned about Olympic Medals than anything else.

Pro-Palestinian athletes could show ‘solidarity’ in Olympics opening ceremony

Aspectacular boat procession down the Seine at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games could be used by national delegations seeking to show “solidarity” with the Palestinian cause.

Around 90 vessels carrying 10,500 athletes and officials are due to float in convoy through Paris on Friday night, including a delegation from Israel. Pro-Palestine organisers said discussions were taking place about a high-profile demonstration.

A “show of solidarity” could involve some unnamed national delegations flying the Palestinian flag or wearing messages on clothing, sources said, as part of a policy of those opposed to Israel’s involvement in the Games to target open-air events over the next three weeks.

100% security does not exist.
