sure, they trained and now they get to participate in a genocidal dictatorship's propaganda

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.


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?

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

seems like a permanent boycott is the solution

Nope, US athletes should compete and illustrate the benefits of a free society.

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.

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