Boycotting the Olympics only ensures 1 thing that thousands of athletes world wide that spend countless mornings to night hours training, training, and more training in their sports for 1 chance to shine will be robbed of that chance.
Most of them are dedicated to sports that receive little attention or recognition except during the Olympics.

It is selfish for the non competing general public put their politics and personal agenda's in front of the athletes selfless dedication to sport.

I support the Olympic athletes not those that would boycott the games over this subject.
