Anyone know what the USOC’s position is on this? I haven’t been able to find anything.

I think they're printing happy faces on duct tape for our atheletes to wear during press interviews.

From the article above:

The BOA took the decision even though other countries – including the United States, Canada, Finland, and Australia – have pledged that their athletes would be free to speak about any issue concerning China.

To date, only New Zealand and Belgium have banned their athletes from giving political opinions while competing at the Games.
