Ban the Chinese Olympics ! 16 Years, 2 Months ago  
ITK will do his small bit - by not watching a single moment of it !

These tyrant regimes should NOT be rewarded for their evil.

FFS ITK, have you protested about any other countries holding the Olympics? By your standards the USA should have a life ban.

Politics and sport are not one in the same.

Jeez, it's people like you who say don't give Amy an award.

Any country which currently has 7 million people under "house arrest" or in prison camps should be avoided at all costs.

You may be happy to deal with such terrorists (and turn a blind eye) - I AM NOT !

fully agree with you ITK


The rest of the world who object to it should pull out in their masses and show that evil regime, exactly what they think of them.

It would give me enormous (sadistic?) pleasure to see few bother to turn up - after the Chinese have spent billions on trying to make themselves seem acceptable to the human race.

On a plus point if Russia, USA, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Kenya, Ethiopia, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Morocco, Algeria and Poland withdraw, then Britain might get a medal or two.

Good to see that people (House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi, and G Brown) are offering support to the Dalai Lama, which must be iritiating the Chinese no end.

I have a feeling this can run right up to the Olympics and make everyone regret having awarded the Games to China.

do all athletes still have to sign declarations stating they won't talk to the media at all concerning China and its "actions" ?

I believe so, MM - at least that's what was being forced on them initially (unless the authorities have backed down).

Never trusted the Olympics.

Drug addled athletes and politcal posturing by the hosts.

Always been the same.

2012 is no different ( just look at the posturing by Ken Leavingsoon and Gordon already )

Boycott EVERY olympics I say - dont even watch on TV.

I have to say on this one - whilst I totally agree with stopping tyranny and injustice, it is a bit strong watching the UK and USA so busily attacking the Chinese for Tibet after the Iraq situation.

Credit to the French - at least they have been consistent.

You should not only not watch a minute of it, but let the olympic sponsors know that you will be boycotting their products. Efforts will not be meaningful until it doesn't hurt somebody's wallet.

Agreed - but I don't eat McDonalds anyway - a double "ban" maybe ?
