A bit of a GRRRRR rant here......I have been against the Olympics being held in China since the search began and my feelings have only gotten stronger. In the past month, the Chinese government has informed local restaurants and bars that they are not to serve black patrons, and now banned Cheek from the games by denying his Visa because of his affiliation with Team Darfur to help raise money and awareness for the situation in the Sudan and Tibet. I for one am ashamed that the American Olympic Committee would even agree to participate in the games knowing China is going to mantain its own agenda. But why do we continue to kowtow to China...simple the same reason we are in Iraq......money and politics. Shameful.

I for one immensly enjoy watching the Olympic Games but categorically refuse to watch any of the Bejing Games on any network. How could I in good conscience, knowing all of those ad and commercial dollars are supporting a country who supports the extreme violation of human rights and in my view participating only says America condones their beliefs.
