News, Insights, and Humour
Tibet is going to be the downfall of the 2008 Olympics. It’s a shame, the athletes (who aren’t doping that is) don’t deserve to be caught in the middle of the controversy.
The list of bloggers boycotting the Olympic sponsors/partners is growing.
Steve, and many, many other bloggers are renewing my interest in either an Olympic boycott, or a large blog oriented protest action against the IOC.
Anonymous: “I’m not downsizing what is happening in China. I would never agree with such acts of violence.
However, the only people your affecting when boycotting the games are the athletes.”
It isn’t only the athletes affected, however. The people who have been displaced from their homes have been forever affected in a negative way. The people who have been killed by a corrupt and anti-freedom government have been affected. Canada has to at least consider that we should put life before games. It’s our fault that athletes have put their lives into games that we did not keep pure. But the Olympics are now more about sponsorship and “partners” than they are about the true Olympic spirit. Protecting the Olympic “brand” is what VANOC is concerned with, not protecting the dignity and life work of athletes and the Olympic spirit!
