Definitely boycott the damned Beijing Olympic fiasco. The entire US athletics and sports industries/leagues are a national embarrassment. This goes for the amateur ranks as well.
The exhibition of virtually every single woke US athlete protesting their own country while praising Communist China would be a propaganda gold mine for them.
No way they should be rewarded for being the number one global belligerent. The number one oppressor and the number one global pandemic provider.
It is absurd that they are still being considered for the games in the first place.
