China 2022 Olympic boycott

[Poketologist]

Not a fan. Didn't work back in 1980 or 1984. You're just punishing the athletes and their countries. Don't do it, Joe.

Biden says U.S. considering diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics

The United States is considering a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics, President Joe Biden confirmed on Thursday, a move that would be aimed at protesting China's human rights record, including what Washington says is genocide against minority Muslims.

Even if it would have worked, still a bad idea. Don’t politicize sports. Let the athletes compete, and athletes, keep your politics off the court/field/pitch/track/etc.

 

[soonerinlOUisiana]

......and podium, too.

It's is a diplomatic boycott.....so what.... some politicians don't get to go to the opening ceremonies on the US taxpayer dollar.

In other words, it’s a boycott that isn’t really a boycott.

I plan on boycotting even if I do make the ribbon dancing team

Pussy Prez did not address COVID or all the fentanyl China is pumping in the country killing Americans with. Of course, Joe and his buddies making too much off China to do anything.

And oh yeah, when is Brandon going to get the production of PPP, pharmaceuticals, and ventilators and other essential medical equipment moved out of China and back in the US to protect this country from a future pandemic? I thought that was a priority? Seems like a major health and self defense issue for the county?

Full Olympic boycotts are stupid and very similar to Trumps tariffs as they hurt our own citizens and do nothing. We need to be more creative with the Chinese problem and these political stunts mean jack shit to the Chinese.

Absolutely should be boycotted! The people running china released a virus that has killed over 5 million people worldwide and two years later you reward them. Should have dusted up an old venue got it ready and let the chinese play with each other.

This is all about a propaganda coup now. BTW I'm all for not politicizing sports, but the olympics is a geo-political deal, and nations that are free, even semi-free should never participate in these types of events. Hell why not award North Korea a venue...you know to keep peace and whatnot.

You can't be more creative with "China" they are a totalitarian state and bent on ruling the world.....anything you do to placate, extend a hand, mollify them is seen as weakness to them. You have to shut them out of the world economy period. We buy and produce way too many thing there and shouldn't be. The CCP is an existential threat to world peace and anyone who can't or won't see that is at the back half of the bell curve or already in their pockets.

As with the summer olympics though, won't watch one millisecond of this charade.

Agree but move the Olympics- let those that trained still Compete. China needs to be castrated from the free world till it cleans up its crime ls against humanity And wanting to take over the whole world.

. Of course I've seen a lot of this nation headed towards what China is doing- hopefully we rise up and stop it here. I remember looking down my nose at the mexican government Now believing ours is just as bad

CCP is evil- China people I'm sure are great
DC and the left are evil -
We the people are great

Right now in China and the US the tail is wagging the dog- small demonic minority Ruling the vast Majority . I say bypass China but dang- all our government is...is the biggest money laundering mafia in the world

I think it's better to just beat the shit out of them in sport than to let them 'win'.

 

[Corndog2021]

Women's Tennis going to boycott? Pressure on Men's tennis, then others. Each sport boycott then lets hold our own somewhere- F China to the Nth power. Live person organ harvesting, genocide of groups of
Faith, Notjing China does is for
Good- only to further entrench their power and perform horrible Crimes Against humanity. Sadly the USA govt and woke corporations are aiding and Abetting (sp?) the POS CCP.

Don't go to China - bypass them, castrate them,
Let them intersquad

 

[squeak]

Biden is such a pussy

 

[Corndog2021]

Alt Olympics- countries and groups have been demanding IOC bypass
China for their horrific crimes against
Humanity. Groups need to make stands- stand the F up- China needs to go down-
Well the CCP anyways. Amazing China owns
The NBA. Hollywood, our woke corporations and Half giVe or take of our politicians
