I already said that if athletes could protest in some way, I would probably support going to the olympics. But if they can't, screw it.

After reading this artcile, I am leaning in favor of the USA boycotting the olympics.

But I am glad to see you are still wiling to be reasonable. No one is exactly sure how protests might play out. If the athletes aren't there, of course, they won't be able to protest at all.
You also didn't answer my question. Do you think the 1980 boycott was effective?
