Personally, I think human rights trumps sports a thousand times over. And I don't give a crap whether it is here or in another country. We should be standing up for human rights AROUND THE WORLD.
So we seem to agree about whether people are voting the right way but COMPLETELY differ on the reason.

Do you think fruitless gestures trump Canadians athletes life long dedication?
Fact of the matter is the vast majority of the world isn't on board with LGBT rights and Canada ruining the dreams of their athletes isn't going to change that. Not by a long shot.
It's actually kind of selfish.
"Throw away all you've worked for in your life so that we can tell Russia they suck! Who cares that it's your and hundreds of other peoples life long passion, and it won't accomplish ANYTHING."
What don't you get. Russians aren't even remotely close to accepting homosexuality in anyway. This is dumb. Don't punish our athletes for the IOC's mistake. F*** me this argument is so frustrating.
