Exactly. Many hours have been spent in preparation for Olympic games. People who planned them have nothing to do with politics. Its sports ffs.pyscofrawg wrote:

So if the Olympics were held in Somalia or Serbia when they were going through their civil war/genocide of muslims, you wouldn't mind?pyscofrawg wrote:

The games and athletes. They attended the games for 1 reason only: Competition.RastaBlasta wrote:

The athletes? Because it's their political decision too, imo. They've decided to support China by attending those games. They've effectively traded people's basic rights for their own shot at fame and fortune.
I'm not sure what I would've done in their position, working so hard to get there and all, but I think they have to accept some responsibility.

athletes that have trained for the majority of their lives to compete in the OLYMPICS should give up that opportunity cause you dont agree with chinas policy on tibet?
i love how these "activist" types can never look at the big picture.

What ignorance? If that makes me ignorant then you are too. Are only Serbia and Somalia the bad guys and China and Russia? And USA is an angel right? I wonder which country killed the most people. I'm sure yours would in the top 3. There was war everywhere not just Serbia and Somalia.Poseidon wrote:

What responsibility? They are not responsible for political decisions of a foreign country. Athletes are athletes and politicians are politicians, politicians are the ones who should take responsibility.RastaBlasta wrote:
