Winter Olympics boycott

[Anonymous]

I will
Not try out for the winter Olympic because I’m boycotting them. They shouldn’t take place in China. Boycott the winter Olympic, if you know someone who can tryout tell them to boycott.

Seriously it’s like holding the Olympics in Berlin under Hitler.

Are you on a national team? What sport do you play in this area, cross-country skiing?

I agree, but we can't blame athletes. They trained and trained and timing is important. All we can do is not go to watch and let the olympics be a drain on china rather than a tourist event.

Because the countries/cities that still want to host the money-losing (well, money losing in a less-corrupt country) disaster known as the Olympics are the ones with scary corrupt leaders on a power trip that want to boast about how great their nation is (China, Brazil, Russia).

I'm still waiting for the answer to my question. What winter sport are YOU competing in on the Olympics-qualifying level? If the answer is 'none', then STFU and mind your damn business.

The 1980 boycott proved that it only hurt the US athletes.

exactly, I'm as opposed to slave labor and the elimination of a whole people as the next guy, but don't people realize how important snow boarding is to snow boarders?
