[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] I thought the whole point of the Olympics was to bypass political considerations. Everywhere that's had the Olympics has had some sort of questionable background. Sydney? Bunch of bloody convicts. Atlanta? Rednecks, don't let any of the athletes from Africa pop out for a walk round the block if at all possible. Barcelona? Basques. Seoul? Students. Los Angeles? Los Angeles. . . You get the idea. All the way back, past Moscow, via Hitler's Berlin in 1936. And besides, these days the Olympics are all about sponsorship. Which market is more valuable, Canada or China? Do you think Nike are gonna care about human rights in China? Hell, they're fucking dependent on Chinese slave labour to make their products. [/QB][/QUOTE]
