I'm not talking about forcing an American team, or any country's team, to not attend the Olympic games this summer if you happen to be the leader of a sovereign nation. I'm curious to know whether or not you, as an individual athlete, would choose not to attend the games because of China's political atmosphere, or any other reason.
I have a friend who lives in Europe who may be kicked off his Olympic team for the country he represents if he does not sign an agreement to not criticize the Chineese government's politics. This may be his only chance to go to an Olympics as a competitor but he doesn't want to be complicit in China's campaign to eliminate dissent.
Please state why you would or would not attend the games.
