In reply to the discussion: What's your take on a potential boycot of the Sochi Olympics in Russia re: gay rights? [View all]DinahMoeHum
(21,786 posts)Frankly, I look forward to the moment an Olympic athlete on the podium whips out a rainbow flag or flashes a homemade sign to Putin or the IOC like: "Suck My C***, Asswipe" (preferably in Russian)
I'm also in favor of constant, frequent stink-eyes and disparaging remarks at IOC and Russian officials in public to embarrass the living shit out of them and make them wish they never consider having another Games on Russian soil again. Yeah, go ahead, arrest them or kick them out and risk an international incident/embarrassment.
Let's remember, the Olympic "ideals" died a long time ago. In fact, they never really existed, not even in ancient Greece.
Let's also remember, the IOC has never met a repressive regime they didn't like. Those fascist hold-overs from the past need to be taken down a few notches and told: you may own the name "Olympics", but you don't own our sports and you don't own us.
