If we have to boycott the Games, we should have done it in the first place when Beijing was chosen as the host of this year’s Olympics. Trying to obstruct the successful organization of the Games now is like a hypocrite who is afraid to say no when...

The sense of timing, Tibetans have shown in raising the issue of freedom or autonomy, whatever it is, is really magnificent. While China not prepared to buckle down and Olympics feared to be boycotted by various countries, i m afraid that Olympics may fail. Though this shouldn’t happen in the larger cause of Ages Old Prime Sports Event.

No, let them host Beijing Olympiad. There is no question of sabotaging such kind of mega sport event for a political reason. Sports should be separated from political causes. This is wrong if people decide to end the dreams of hundreds of athletes.

Yes, there is no question of let them host Olympics when these Chinese are killing Tibetans like hell. How can we celebrate in China when we know that the Chinese government is the killer of innocent people?

Though we are talking about a boycott here, i don’t see any country planning one. Ofcourse China needs to be tethered lest they kill more innocent Tibetans even while depriving them of their freedom, and i fervently hope the atheletes who empathise with the Tibetan cause speak out for Tibet in the Olympics and i am pretty sure, a few will. And, the Indian football captain Bhaichung Bhutia has really stood out by refusing to carry the Olympic torch thus making a huge statement against the Chinese occupation and atrocities in Tibet. I salute him and i’m looking forward to see many more atheletes highlight the Tibetan cause during the Beijing Olympics, albeit peacefully.

No. We should not boycott Beijing Olympics. The international relations among nations in the world is at stake here. Failure of the Olympics may have global implications since the event may seem to be politicized.
Athletes are sportsmen and not politicians. They will be there for athletic competitions and not for policies and decision-making. Let the games begin and witness the real champions in the world events in sports.
