BOYCOTT!!!

If say Egypt held the Olympics and they warned of wearing crosses or making the sign of the cross would we boycott or just succumb?

We should send an all gay Olympic team.

The White House delivered a strong message of opposition to Russia's anti-gay laws Tuesday with the announcement of its delegation to the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics.

The White House delegation will include an openly gay athlete: tennis great Billie Jean King.

A statement from the White House said President Obama's schedule doesn't allow him to travel to Sochi.

Strong message? Because his schedule doesn't allow it?

How about he's not going because of Russia's policy towards homosexuality? PERIOD

Take a page from history, like when Jesse Owens smoked Hitler's "Master Race" athletes and the rest of the world at the track and field events in 1936. Let the performance of the athletes do the talking. And if some of our gold medalists happen to be gay, great. They can thank whomever they like and say whatever they want on TV. They will be interviewed extensively for the TV networks. What's Russia going to do about that? Nothing.
