Goddamn your one stupid fucker.
"Oh, poor little rich Christina has spent 5 years of her sheltered life training for this event, so you shouldn't disappoint her, she's not used to that, and it will make her sad, and it's mean".
Jesus fucking christ, so if the issue was that Russia was persecuting another race, let's say Chechen's, then we should still just say nothing? Funny thing is, they are persecuting other races, including Chechen's. When is it alright to boycott the Olympics? I mean, what would Russia have to do in order for you to be willing to boycott the Olympics? Mess with Human Rights? Oh wait, they already did!
It's mind boggling how many spoiled little kids out there think it's alright to infringe on Human Rights, as long as their precious gymnasts get to go to the Olympics. I guess you didn't get the quote from Edmund Burke, but i'll leave it here for you to read.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".
