The Olympics and You.....

Tweet

This is a controversial commentary so you have been warned. If you know me well enough I have a sense of humor, have to with my work that I do for a living. Because of that the Olympics have created a stir for me to the point I am even thinking of putting up stuff on my Blog for all to read. For those of you who do not know me, I am a journalist/writer/poet. I know the Olympics are something a great deal of people look forward to and train for. However because of the turmoil that has been going on there with Tibet, my thoughts on the Olympics have absolutely been soured to the point that I feel even the Athletes who have made it to the Olympics this time around should boycott. China has created a situation that now can not be hidden. I have a friend who has been to Tibet, communed with the Tibetan Monks, my Sister often sees the Dali Lama in her home town when he is there. The travesty that has been created will only be supported if we allow it. Now I know a lot of these Athletes have trained their hearts out, however if they are doing this to their own people. Aren't our Athletes in the same boat? I personally will not be watching the games or have anything to do with them. It is a small step but for me needed. Thanks for your responses. Aingealicia
