Sochi 2014

 
I'd like to take this time to make an announcement.
For the first time in my life I refuse to watch the Olympics. I am DISGUSTED with the choice to have the Olympics in an area of the world that has very public anti-gay laws that you can read all about here and then to put the cherry on top (FOR ME) is when they decided to use 2 captured Orcas for "entertainment" at the opening of the games. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Read about it HERE.
 
Screw you Sochi. Screw you Russia. You won't be on my TV at all.
Not to even mention the stupid amount of money that was spent on these games. 50 BILLION or 5 times the amount Vancouver, BC spent. Just read this article to really get disgusted with the way Putin spends money.
 
What happened to it being about athletic talent? I understand that these athletes work their entire life to make it to the Olympics and I just think it is so sad for this one to be the one they got to go to. If I was an athlete there is no way I would participate here. It would be filled with a sick feeling of disgust if I set foot there. I feel so sorry for all the gay athletes that are having to deal with that very predicament but sorry, I won't be watching.
 
FREE THE WHALES!
