Montreal, 1976: African nations boycott
1976年蒙特利爾奧運會:非洲國家抵制參賽
Human right was at the forefront of the Montreal Games after 22 African nations boycotted the Olympics because New Zealand was participating. Earlier that year, New Zealand sparked outrage among African countries when it sent its national rugby team to play in South Africa, which was under apartheid. This marked the first of several politically-motivated boycotts of the Olympics.
22個非洲國家因新西蘭參賽而聯合抵制奧運會,在此之后人權問題就處于了蒙特利爾奧運會的風口浪尖。當年早些時候,新西蘭國家橄欖球隊前往種族隔離制度下的南非比賽,因此在非洲國家激起了民憤。這是第一次因政治原因而抵制奧運會的運動。
