As a court professional, would you wear a "Fvck the draft" t-shirt in a courthouse? I would guess not, because you are, well, a professional. There are places and times where certain things aren't appropriate.
Likewise, an athlete from the USA, representing the USA, while that person does indeed have an individual personality, bears a certain amount of responsibility. We fought a long cold war and a couple indirect hot wars with the Soviets. If you want to wear a CCCP sweatshirt, fine, but not as a representative of the USA.
It isn't an issue of offense.....it's an issue of decorum.
