U.S. and Canadian athletes, some of whom swam for UCLA, others that were on the Canadian National Swim Team, are drawing attention to the implications of Dow Chemical's Olympic Sponsorship. The group wants to address the issue, so they drafted a letter which is circulating amongst athletes and a facebookpage was created. There are two issues at work. One, is that the IOC is saying that no one, besides a few associations (Bhopal and now Agent Orange victims), has any issues regarding Dow Chemical's Olympic sponsorship. This however, is not completely accurate since most of the athletes we have been reaching out to don't even know who or what the company does or is. Ignorance is acceptance by default.
