1. hell with an official boycott

you'll get enough athletes that will stay home because of this

is it too late to stage an alternative to the Olympics?

4. I remember air like that down south in the winter

back when everybody used coal.

At least by August, coal use for home heating will no longer be an issue.

It looks like the Chinese are going to poison themselves out of existence.

5. Absolutely disgustung.

I am starting to think about just not watching the Olympics this year. I fear there will be multiple incidents where athletes simply pass out from the polluted air during the games. And also that after the games we will hear more and more about suffering the displaced people went through.

I can hardly believe that China continues to get a pass for the disgusting conditions it will present during the games this year.
