No sporting boycotts will happen. I'm amazed how delusional people are. The Tibet situation was much bigger in 2008 and they held the Games there. Money is more important to IOC than people realize. The days when they banned Ingemar Stenmark from taking part in WOG are long over :lol:

I’m not so sure.

I am sure. Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all lost to the Western world. COVID has allowed China to call people racists whenever someone says "Chinese virus". NBC pays too much money for WOG to be held without Americans for instance. Nobody in USA would tune in to watch Russians and Norwegians win :p

I am sure NBC has a clause in the contract that says no Americans no broadcast.

What about the sponsors who bought ads for the TV coverage? :coffee:

Most people don't like FIFA either and nobody thinks about boycotting the World Cup :lol:

There has been many calls to do so.

And football only grows bigger with more games and more money invested. Nobody will boycott FIFA World Cup, football is basically bigger than Olympic Games (most certainly than the Winter edition where half of the world doesn't even have a shot at any medals).

Did you miss the news that the Scandinavian FA’s are considering quitting Fifa due to the prospect of the World Cup every two years?

    • I mean to the end of an Era where there was very few wars with the consent of USA (in other case you dont have one) to start a new cold war, in the cold war you have "proxys wars" between the superpowers envolved, thats what i want to say, we are in the new cold war like  with the conflicts you mention.

    • Meant to ask this during the Olympics, but how many of you non-USA peeps are familiar with this song?  In case you don't know, this was written for the LA84 games by John Williams, renowned film score composer (Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park, etc.).  NBC now uses this all the time in their Olympic promos, intros, etc.   I had a friend who moved from the US to England, and when the Olympics came on, he commented that he missed this song.  So, perhaps this song is unknown to non-USers...but I have a sneaky suspicion that you Olympics nerds might have heard it.         Another one NBC uses (though I just learned myself that this was originally by French-American Leo Arnaud, called Bugler's Dream, dating back to the 1964 Tokyo games...apparently in 1996, John Williams combined it with Olympic Fanfare):      The combined version:   Edit: I'm hoping to make it to an athletics session at LA28 so I can be in the stadium where he directed the orchestra to perform this song during the Opening Ceremony.  Williams is still alive, and at 94, I hope he can hang in there two more years to see the Olympics return to LA and receive some honor.  He also composed music for Atlanta '96, and the opening theme of Summon the Heroes also gets used by NBC a lot:
