    “In 1928, the Fédération Féminine Sportive de France (FFSF) (French Women's Sports Federation) refused to renew her licence amid complaints about her lifestyle and she was therefore barred from participating in the 1928 Summer Olympics. The agency cited her lack of morals, in particular, Morris' penchant for wearing men's clothing. She had also punched a football referee.[4] Afterward, Morris decided to undergo an elective mastectomy, which she claimed was in order to fit into racing cars more easily. After 1928, her auto racing license was revoked on similar moral grounds and Morris started a car-parts store in Paris, and, along with her employees, building racing cars. The business went bankrupt.”

    I mean she was banned for “loose morals”before her collaboration with the Nazis so technically this post isn’t wrong. Even though the post made it seem like she was killed for her lifestyle and not Nazi collaboration.
