    Beijing 2022: 180 human rights groups call for Winter Olympics boycott......

    Not only are Human Rights Groups calling for a Boycott of the Winter Olympics in China. So to are countries. Now Rep Walsh from Florida is calling on the US to Boycott the Olympics. Due to the Genocide by China on the Uighurs. A host of Countries have tried to get the Olympic Committee to relocate the Olympics for 2022. They are refusing to do so.


    Republicans Mike Walsh, Rep Florida and Senator Tim Scott are calling on the US to boycott and not reward China. Naturally Team Biden is all about kissing the Chinese ass and are refusing to even consider it.


    What say ye.....Should the US Boycott the Olympics?



    Beijing 2022: 180 human rights groups call for Winter Olympics boycott.....

    More than 180 organisations want countries to skip event as a way of demonstrating their opposition to China’s rights record.


    The open letter published this week said: “The IOC [ International Olympic Committee] refused to listen in 2008, defending its decision with claims that they would prove to be a catalyst for improved human rights. As human rights experts predicted, this decision proved to be hugely misplaced; not only did China’s human rights record not improve but violations increased substantially without rebuke.


    “Now, in 2021, we find ourselves back in the same position with the IOC who are refusing to act despite the clear evidence of genocide and widespread and worsening human rights failures.”


    “We’re not currently talking about changing our posture or our plans as it relates to the Beijing Olympics,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.


    The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee said it believed it was more effective for governments to engage China directly on human rights concerns, and boycotts “have been shown to negatively impact athletes while not effectively addressing global issues”.....snip~

    China stands to make billions just with the Olympics alone. Why would the Deviant Democrats help make the Chinese benefit from the Olympics?


    The excuse being used by leftists is that boycotting makes the Athletes suffer. Yet US athletes have gone full in on Social Justice. Yet when it comes to the Chinese, they are giving them a pass.

    Great idea. The IOC will probably switch it to Iran or Yemen knowing how they work.

    Boycott the Olympics. Boycott everything Chinese. Don't reward them for releasing their China virus on us.

    Trump would do the right thing.

    Biden is a traitor, he'll bend over for China.

    Exactly.....China will make a couple billion off the Olympics. Countries can't reward them. Biden is already bending over for them.

    If having a poor record on human rights excludes a country from hosting the Olympics, then very few places in the world, including the united States, would qualify.

    As I've said many times before, Americans need to get their own house in order before they can tell other societies how to behave.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    The USA has hosted the Olympics very successfully in the past including Salt Lake City 2002, Atlanta 1996, Los Angeles 1984, Lake Placid 1980 for recent reference.

    You can't compare the two and China's record of human rights isn't poor it's atrocious.

    Assuming no boycott, do you think China will make billions? I though cities (and countries) that host Olympics typically lost money.
