@Mama_Cakes So you actually think they are going to start filling up the jails with Olympic competitors with the entire world there watching? I doubt it. I am disgusted by what is going on, but you can go to towns in America and see some of the same kind of horrible. I realize the laws in Russia are on a federal level, so it is a little different. Although, having a law that if a military man says he is gay is reason for discharge isn’t much different. We just got rid of that law. If an individual athlete wants to take a stand and not go to Russia I support them, but I don’t think a country, any country, should boycott. I do think the US should take extra measures to make sure our athletes are safe.
It’s kind of ridiculous when as you point out there is probably a high percentage of athletes who are gay.
