What about the second question? This is a modern interconnected world, so at what point do human rights or other abuses become enough to make a boycott okay? I honestly paid very little attention to the Beijing games in any capacity so I don't recall if there was any talk of boycott there, but should there have been? What if Russia's policy was based upon race as well as sexuality? Would that be enough?
Btw, I'm not calling on you to decide one way or the other here, I'm just sort of spitballing on the idea of where you draw the line.
