1. I don't know. I mean I get the rainbow colors, but it still glorifies the Olympics which, this year

....is condoning homophobia by even being held where is.

So it's kind of a mixed message.

2. Kind of like sending the atheletes. nt

3. Exactly right, William769.

The Olympics has always pissed me off for it's commercial corporate bullshit, it doesn't really celebrate the common man or woman- one largely has to come from an entitled family or be in a favorable position to participate.

It seems to get worse every year but since we've boycotted in the past, and aren't this year, I'm just done with it.

There's a hell of a lot more good will and humanity in the Special Olympics.

4. I will always support the Special Olympics.

Have been doing so locally for many years.
