The Olympics are supposed to be apolitical. The Olympics are about the peaceful, international celebration of sports, athletic competition, and human achievement.<br><br>In direct contradiction to these ideals, athletes from the People's Republic of China are subject to intense scrutiny by CCP officials when they return home if they don't perform well. They are subject to "re-education" and imprisonment. If they say or do anything politically sensitive, they are subject to "reeducation" and imprisonment.<br><br>The Olympics should be temporarily suspended until all participating nations can send athletes without fear of political reprisal.<br><br>***Edit: I have to say, it's been a long time since a post I made here garnered such a strong and positive reaction. Thank you to everyone for engaging. I wasn't expecting so many chefs to be cooking with my recipe today. <br><br>To the Chinese nationalist shills trying to spin this: spin on, friends. Nobody's buying the Pills. Don't forget, real patriots love their country more than they love their government. The CCP is not China, it's an occupation. Chinese people deserve democracy, freedom, and the rule of law just as much as anyone. If you love China, you should love Chinese people first and foremost.
