Some are boycotting the Olympics in China over the Uyghur camps...
Some are boycotting because of Hong Kong...
Some are boycotting because of Tibet...
Some are boycotting because of the COVID 19 coverup...
Some are boycotting because of the transgender athletes...
Some are boycotting because there isn't enough support for transgender athletes...
When there are so many reasons, do the boycotts lose some of their message?

A primary boycott reason should be because of Peng Shuai, the chinese/female tennis star who basically disappeared via the chinese government for speaking out about a sexual assault she claimed happened. On the flip side, it's tough to punish olympic athletes for issues between countries.

Apparently, China (which is an asshole, by the way), threatened athletes about making political statements with which they disagree.

Hannity and Ingraham tied up on the air last night about an Olympic boycott. Ingraham for, Hannity against.

It does rather remind me of Carter boycotting the Moscow games over Afghanistan. He was such a badass.
