Olympic Boycott

[Fishbat]

On a sidenote - dioes anyone actually enjoy the summer Olympics anymore

No, it's a pile of shite from start to finish.

Apart, of course, from the womens synchronised swimming - fantastic underwater camera work

The women's beach vollyball ain't bad either.

So basically the Olympics is Senderos except for the chicks?

[Main Street]

The RTE Olympic panel have also been great entertainment as well as a fountain of knowledge.

Yip, sure it's all pure bollocks, who has the most undetectable drugs in their system, I say let them kill themselves with drugs at least everyone would be on an even footing.  Not one winner of a track and field or swimming competition will have been drug free, they are all cheats and it's all bollocks.

Olympic competitions have no credibility left, they are a huge money spinner for commercial interests, and a huge waste of money for the countries involved ie the poor benighted tax-payers. Corruption wins the gold, Pharmaceuticals the silver and Hypocrisy the bronze.Anyone concerned about sport, human rights or social justice would be seeking abolition instead of a silly boycott

He doesnt, that would take thought and asumptions are easier to make.

John Gormley has fairly pissed off the Chinese. Angry Chinese people make me laugh
