How?
Again, this song and dance has been played out before.
It changed nothing.
Change has to come from internal strife within China.
65 countries boycotted the Moscow games and all that accomplished was retribution against the LA games.
The Olympics should be as free of politics as possible. It solves nothing by refusing to let athletes go.
If they have an option for the participants to opt out and those that cant stand to set foot in China agree, then great. All the power and support to them. Dont make it a blanket banning of an empty gesture though.
