hmmm....there are so many ongoing issues such as :

-issues on Tibet  (genocide, oppression, forced-chinese influx into Tibetian territories, cultural destruction, & etc.)

-rising tensions amongst the Chinese and the minority ethnics,

-very poor track record on human rights and freedom of the press,

-demolition of homes causing locals to live off the streets just to make way for the game

With these issues, there are rising support for a global boycott on the games to send a message to the chinese govt.
Just like the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.....sending a strong message to the Russians after their invasion of Afghanistan.

juz wanna know what u guys think of it....

It's only 1 month they show Olympics while they show EPL 47 months in between.. it's already a natural boycott.

Olympics is so unpopular in this world.

Hate the China gov, but watch the games.. the correct way is to blacklist the corporate sponsors of this year's Olympics, as they're the ones giving payola to China's gov.
