I'm not defending China when I say that the Olympic Games should be left alone, rather I'm defending all of the American athletes who've worked SO hard to make it to the games this year, and they don't need any irrelevant left-wing loons desperately trying to screw that up for them. Many of these athletes will be "past their prime" next time the Olympics roll around, and I know I'd be severely pissed if I wasn't allowed to compete because some fanatical politicians wanted to make a big show of their foreign relations standards by boycotting the Beijing games.

I'm a big fan of the Dalai Lama, so I agree that an agreement needs to be reached between Tibet and China... I just don't agree that now is the best time to be threatening to boycott the games. It's all a political ploy... like Obama or Billary really give a damn about oppressed Tibetans, anyway. Just my :twocents:.
