Boycott Olympics?

I think ideally I think the olympics would represent the sport, the love of the game, and the atheletes. It doesn't and it never will. Do you think for one second USA's win over Russian in hockey would have meant near as much as it did had the political atmosphere been different from what it was? Wrong. Those guys acknowledge what that win meant to them and to Americans in the context of the day.

Not me, i'm a fan of nationalism. I like the idea of them competing for national honor, of us flying our flag and playing our national anthem. You noted it yourself, it means something. To big countries and small countries. I think it's healthy.

What I disagree with is the IOC allowing the ceremonies to be hijacked by nations for their political agenda. Host it in China? Really? Boy I just knew that would go well.
