Keep gold at home
The horror in Tibet, only the latest example of Chinese human rights violations, has once again placed the boycott option into conversation.
Would a boycott have been better than memories of Jesse Owens basking in the glow of heat coming off of Hitler’s head?
I say we find a better way. We should boycott with our wallets, not athletes. Send the athletes, nothing else. No U.S. dollars.
Let’s bring home the gold but first have it tested for lead.
