[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a point at which other countries will boycott the LA Olympics in response to Trump’s disrespectful treatment and restrictions on the press? Will that prevent the government from abandoning democracy? I was looking for some hope that the patriotism and glamour of hosting the Olympics might be a more powerful check on Trump becoming more autocratic, but perhaps any international protest would be sadly spun/interpreted as “deserved” economic punishment for liberal Angelenos (even though LA and SoCal has many Rs, too).[/quote] The best Olympic opening ceremony I ever saw was 1984 LA summer Olympics. Considering the political climate in the US, I hope the IOC will move the 2028 games to another country and as long as racism, sexism is legal in the US no future games can be held in the United States. It needs to be done now so I'm there countries can make their bids. If they are held in LA then I hope there will be world wide botcott.[/quote]
