Then Russia has to make the choice to either accept the logo or ban that country. You will see them bow down about as quickly as they did in Cuba. And while they will try to film around it whenever they can, the whole drama around every cut will create more media attention than they ever wanted to attract and every artificial blending away of cameras in the official Russian reporting will be commented on and the internet dialog will be endless. And it should be on all uniforms of athletes, coaches, associated delegates, etc. Make it backfire on Russia - that is the way to fight back. And every country would be indirectly required to take sides, not only EU and US, but also Australia, NZ, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa...and on and on and on. Russia would achieve exactly the opposite of what they intended and that would be great. THIS IS BRILLIANT....if this is not your original idea then I think you should tweet the source and post it everywhere you are. If it is your original idea, then IMO you should take this and send it to every major news source 'letters to the editor' as well as create a simple video and post it everywhere. This is EXACTLY what should happen!! good stuff Well, it is my idea here, I did not read that anywhere, but of course, I have no clue whether somebody else has come up with this same or a similar idea already elsewhere. But I am not signed up to NYTimes or other major newspapers that are having this discussion. I might have a user on Huff post, will need to check. But, I could use all your help. Rather than me trying to spread this on my own, I give everybody here the chance to spread this thought, anywhere where they see the media discussion around the Olympics boycott cooking. This is not about the source, where the idea comes from, but rather about the target and the impact it can potentially have, if enough help along and engage in this matter. The important part about it is twofold. It needs to be part of the uniform, rather than an individual choice. Because individuals would obviously just become targets for expressing support for LGBT. And enough countries would have to join in to make it work, so the different Olympic delegations that are now thinking about this whole issue and their stance on the matter would have to decide to go this route. This is not about gay marriage or any of the other topics that are still controversial as of today. This is about the basic human rights and freedom of opinion for and on behalf of the gay community, exactly what these new laws in Russia deny. |
