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.

This is why I just think that the men's hockey team should boycott. The reigning champs in the biggest event and they're all millionaires already. And while yes, I assume a gold is important to them too, it's a little easier to miss out on it when you can go back to making ridiculous dollars.
