I’ll bet the US does not attend the Olympics.

I sure hope not. The mere fact of constant surveillance by the PLA should be enough reason for everybody to stay home.

And have we not already read of some athletes declining to go because of the health hazard?

Too many athletes have worked too hard to get to the Olympics … they will go. We had a chance to learn a critical lesson the last time we boycotted the Olympics (1980 (?)). (Didn’t accomplish anything.)

Most athletes only get one shot and I doubt that any would want to bypass a chance at world fame and to achieve their lifelong (hard earned) goals. Boycott, in my opinion, is not going to happen. ;-)
