Colonel Cancer posted:Why aren't videogames an Olympic sport? People spend thousands of hours perfecting a strange activity that's got no application in real life, and somehow we still don't have Olympic dota Only nerds want to watch other nerds play vidya games, plus sports are like the most anti-nerd activity you can do. (This despite the fact that sports fans can also act like total nerds over their teams and also be immature fools in public just as badly as the next sperglord at PAX.)

Sorry, there are no simple solutions or simple answers. But I'm not even sure your question: Are you asking what we as individuals should do? What the Olympics Committee should have done? What someone in power should do? You do what you can within reason to not support those things you disagree with. No one in the thread is saying, as far as I can tell, that watching the Olympics is causing genocide. The Olympics are a lot of money, some of which goes toward that government. People are just saying there were better choices for a host.

Winter sports are so diverse, after all: there's sliding down an icy pipe headfirst, sliding down an icy pipe feet first, a two-person team sliding down an icy pipe, a four-person team sliding down an icy pipe, sweeping a big stone across an ice rink...

Perform all this in the dark and you've pretty much described the daily morning and evening commute north of the 49th parallel.
