International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president Thomas Bach says a number of top athletes are considering boycotting the games in China over the bloody crackdown on protesters in Tibet.
Satellite images show the clear atrocities carried out by the Chinese Military
and police in Tibet. More than 500 Tibetan protestors are dead and more
than 10,000 are injured.

You're telling me that people who spend their entire life training for this are just going to not go because the chinks are a bunch of fucking savages??
>>5
Yes, that's what we're telling you. An alternate Olympics can then be held in the Free World, just to show the world how things must run. The Chinese are being led by fucking barbarians, and since the People of China are tolerating that, then they are ALSO fucking barbarians.

Go to Beijing 2008, you'll help the Chinks repress the Tibetans and you'll get lung cancer as a bonus.
Olympic marketers have scant leeway in Tibet riots
Companies already committed to spending millions to advertise at the Beijing Olympics
would find it hard to pull their ads if they felt the situation in Tibet was hurting their images.
"The Coca-Cola company joins others in expressing deep concern for the situation on
the ground in Tibet," the company said in a statement.
"While it would be inappropriate for sponsors to comment on the political situation of
individual nations ... we firmly believe that the Olympics are a force for good," Coca-Cola said.
Samsung Electronics said the Games should not be a focus for political demonstrations
"and we hope that all people attending the Games recognize the importance of this."
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd, maker of the Panasonic brand, stressed its 20-year
history with the Olympics and said it would not comment "on political issues concerning
any government."
McDonald's, also a long-standing sponsor, said political issues need to be resolved by
governments and international institutions such as the United Nations.
"Our role is always to help support athletes and their teams the world over," spokesman
Walt Riker said.
The American news media continues its love affair with communism. In The Dallas Morning News it was reported that Communist China "annexed" Tibet. When it back Tibet was invaded, defeated, crushed, and occupied by the Communist. Yet the American news media refuses to report the hard realities of communist aggression.
Yeah, the athletes are considering wether they will go to the OG and earn possibly millions or stay at home to support the Tibetans and don't earn shit. Tough choice, I wonder what they will do?

Just in case you wondered why these "Tibetan monks" were so violent in Lhasa....
Outside of Wakanda in Africa, Tibet is the only other significant source of Vibranium, which is a very desirable metallic resource. Tony Stark has made use of Vibranium in some of his suit designs, and as well all know, the Iron Man is the most advanced weapons platform on earth.
Hence, the Chinese will NOT just leave Tibet alone. All this brouhaha is over Vibranium. Strange, isn't it, that Stark and the rest of the Avengers aren't trying to help the people of Tibet? I think this is so since I suspect that Stark is buying Chinese Vibranium.

China will reopen Tibet to foreign tourists on May 1: govt
BEIJING (AFP) - China announced Thursday that foreign tourists would be allowed to travel into Tibet again from May 1, after the Himalayan region was sealed off following violent unrest there last month.
Police officers scuffled with a small group of protesters outside Wembley Stadium as the flame was carried on to a red double-decker bus in front of flag-waving spectators. Three people were arrested.
Later, a protester tried to grab the torch but was wrestled to the ground by police.
The 2008 Games take place in Beijing from August 8 to 24. The next Summer Olympics are in London in 2012.
Five times gold medallist Steve Redgrave started the torch's 31-mile (50-km) journey through the capital at Wembley.

If Tibet wants freedom so bad, they should raise and army and grab it. If they can't, they're weak fucks and don't deserve freedom. Same with the Native Americans. Hey, whoever fights better, wins. It's the way of the world. Tibet needs to suck it up and stop being such pussies.

People just pretend to feel bad for these people so they can make themselves feel better. No one really gives a shit or should give a shit. People worry to much about others and not enough about themselves.

4/26 Today, Chinese went on a rampage in Nagano.
But for some reason, It rained and wind blew in ONLY NAGANO.
Because of it, the big riot by Chinese was prevented.
The original starting point of the Nagano relay, the city's famed Zenkoji Buddhist Temple, declined to participate.
Today, same time, a local citizens group lit candles at Zenkoji temple,
to pray for the victims of the violence in Tibet
screw this olympics
just get it over with so we can look forward to a REAL olympics in London.

It was like China took over Nagano, Central Japan, on April 26th, 2008, when Olympic torch relay was held. The place was overwhelmed by loud voice and violence of immense number of chinese. They threatened pro-Tibet supporters with force and attacked them. Police separated the pro-Tibet and pro-China groups, apparently in favour of pro-China groups. Pro-Tibet groups were push into a small area of Wakasato Park where the relay finished. Pro-Tibet Groups wanted to demonstrate "FREE TIBET" peacefully, but they couldn't. Chinese were abnormally offensive! http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/searchpopup?picId=4031939
