This is someone from the outside, trying to interferre with American political intrigues. Dunno 'bout you, but that smells funny to me.

Anyway, law or not, it seems stupid and baseless to me. I should be able to use the word 'Olympics' in whatever connotation I desire, just like the word 'sun', 'Napoleon', or 'Hypocrites Who Twist Things and Facts To Fit Their Ideals'.

Also - can the USA but the Olympic trademark, should they desire to? Or at least, the right to use in a certain context?
The olympic games refer to everyone, yes, but USOC and Olympics is synonymous, I didn't understand what you were trying to do by not bolding the word "olympic" in USOC.

Again, I think some people don't fully understand what the law to the word "olympic" means. You are welcomed to use the word "olympic" in any form of speech as long as it has no political affiliation. That's why the word olympic can't be used here.
