It's not like this is the quarterly celebration of Russian culture and sport. It's the Olympics. If we're going to boycott every time it's hosted at a country who doesn't agree with our beliefs and ideologies despite it being impossible to change them, then we might as well just disband the COC.
It's great that you support the cause and say "I wish I boycotted, I can't believe Russians would do that, who cares if they won't change, we need to make a statement" but no offense, that's pretty easy to do when you're sitting there with nothing to lose.
If I was an athlete that was forced to boycott and nothing came from it, I'd lose my mind.
