“FEMEN, a Ukrainian-based feminist group, protested today in London against the IOC's alleged “support for bloody Islamist regimes” – tacit support, apparently, by allowing their participation in the Olympic Games.
They have a point. The Olympic Games are not the United Nations, where every nation is expected to have the opportunity to participate, no matter how horrifying their regimes are. There is precedent for countries boycotting the Olympics, as the Soviet Union and its allies did in 1984, plus Iran and Libya.
Can you imagine the attention that could be paid to the urgent issues of our generation if every nation that wasn't in favor of sharia, mass starvation of political opposition and eviscerating concepts of human rights, simply boycotted the Games? If the only ones left in medal contention were Iran, North Korea, Saudia Arabia and the like?
Of course, Olympics proponents would say that the Games are not about politics – that they are above politics. But that, in itself, is a political statement that is open to rational argument”. – Jonathon Narvey via The Propagandist
