    You and I both, Kath, and I'm usually really into the Olympics. But all of the drama like the above alone is enough to tell them F off. Then the other reasons to begin with and their genocide.

    Many of the athletes themselves were talking of boycotting but haven't seen many do so. I think they should all boycott, the country as a whole should have announced a boycott. And then kill their TV coverage as well.

    Count me out.

    Sucks for the athletes, but then, IMO, they should voluntarily not be going. Not cool with the Jimmy Carter National boycott, but a LOT of these athletes are allegedly peacenik, humanitarian types. They need to put their money where their mouths are as well.

    I'm not going to watch.
