Boycotting China and the Olympics
Advertisements [?]
Does anyone know of some sites where activism is sought to boycott or protest the summer Olympics in China? I have been opposed right from the start the Olympics going to China, but my voice didn't seem to be heard (since 2000). The fact that a nation such as China could even host an Olympics is as dumbfounding as the hell we're in here at home, but I thought that the human rights violations in China has been evident for a very long time. It seems to me that we walked right into this one with our eyes wide open--shows how much the Olympics committee gives a shit about such things. I don't recall if this was before or after the bribery scandals that rocked the committee--regardless, it doesn't say much about the selection group at all, does it?
