I hope every athlete who deserves a medal or a PB at the Beijing Olympics gets it, especially the Australians. But I won't be watching. China's human rights record is appalling (see Tibet, Falun Gong) and they should never have been allowed to host. Call it pathetic, but my one-man protest is to avoid the entire coverage.
Considering your devotion to televised sports and the fact that it's gonna be on TV 24/7 in Australia, this is a strong position to take. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'll find plenty of other stuff to watch, mate :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's probably worth pointing out that I'm not just protesting against the Chinese government, either. I think the IOC also has a lot to answer for.
