Athlete Suspended for Making Sign of Cross
They aren’t throwing people in prison for being Christian yet — but it’s getting close:
Serbian athlete Nemanja Majdov, 28, was told by the International Judo Federation (IJF) that he has been banned from competing until early next year including for ‘having shown a clear religious sign when entering the field of play’ in breach of the organisation’s rules.
He committed the infraction while competing in the Paris Olympics in July and was caught red-handed:
Serbian judoka Nemanja Majdov, has been disqualified for 5 months for making a Christian cross symbol during a match.
The International Judo Federation previously gave the athlete 2 warnings for making Christian symbols for showing his faith in God.

The IJF explains why Christian gestures are banned:
“As an international umbrella organisation, it is our duty to make sure that all our stakeholders and especially the athletes, feel respected and accepted, in all our events and activities.”
Intolerance is tolerance. Anyone who doesn’t agree is a bigot.
