I'm sure the Chinese are devastated and are trembling over what may come. MLB moves the All Star game out of ATL while we send an Olympic team to a nation literally keeping millions of people in concentration camps performing slave labor.
What a country.

Right call. Full boycotts are self-defeating and extremely

unfair to the athletes, and diplomatic boycotts are really nothing more than a symbolic gesture, but I don't think China's human rights abuses should go uncommented.
IMO, the much more fun issue and what I strangely get fired up about, is making the Summer games a permanent fixture in Athens. Open to permanent locations for Winter games. Greenland?

We'll all watch the Olympics and forget about what we're mad at China about, just like we do everyday when we wear our clothes and use our iPhones.

I think the Olympic committee should just uproot them and move the games to another country that isn't committing so many human rights violations.
BTW, I left an "M" out of committing and the spell checker didn't even recognize it. ###????? I had to go type it into google and let Google correct it. It's too early for this 'ish. Just about made my head explode.

If you aren't a democracy that supports basic human rights, you don't get to host the Olympics. Should be a simple rule.
