I agree. There are people how have been training their entire life for this one moment and I would hate to see us pull a Jimmy Carter and take that opportunity from them. I would just skip the opening ceremonies.
Or maybe march in with a Tibetan flag. That would be funny.
“Or maybe march in with a Tibetan flag. That would be funny.”
That would be bloody brilliant! I also think that Bush should go, and make a very big, very public stink about Tibet, and show the Chicoms that if they want to save face, they should keep their face away from chain saws.
I agree with you. Politics will overrun the Olympics, though. The movement will not rest until it has ruined the Olympics. I’m sad about that. I watched as atheletes that had finally gotten their once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete have it dashed by Carter.
What did we gain from boycotting the Moscow Olympics? Nothing, absolutely nothing. And yet people want to follow the same course. The Olympics should not be political but it always is.
