Not supposed to be about politics.....leave that garbage at home!!!
The Olympics are about sport.......that is why we don't Boycott them anymore....leave your personal and political BS at home....and just compete.....
We respectfully disagree.
I say good for her! I wish more athletes were willing to take political stands.
It's very easy to say "let's just keep it about sport" ... unfortunately, that ship has long ago sailed and trying to reframe/rewind a globalized, corporatized, and heavily politicized money-making endeavor like the Olympics is as silly as our President trying to bring us back to the 50's. Hopelessly naive.
Jackie Robinson, John Carlos, Tommie Smith, Wilma Rudolph, Billie Jean King, Mohammed Ali ... there were some athletes who took their social responsibilities seriously.
It's bad enough that China, with its abhorrent human rights history, got the games. That our country and our athletes are not willing to speak out more loudly is embarrassing on a global scale.
My 2¢ anyway, as a Chinese American.
So, this is Ok for her to do? So it's Ok to allow the Olympics to be used to further ones political and personal values?
I say shut up and compete.....don't rightly care what others think should or shouldn't be done with animals......that is definitely not why I am watching the games. As I sit in my nice comfortable LEATHER recliner.
Yes, I think it is not only courageous to do so, but also any conscious person's ethical imperil to speak out against injustice.
As I said before, we respectfully disagree.
Nowhere in the running commentary between you and Spock does the subject of PETA, illegal acts or *** come up. You mentioned it when you were debating with Hulk, but it does not come up between you and Spock. I don't even see how you can interpret this string as him saying that it's okay to assault somebody or throw poo on their fur.
