Do you agree with a boycott of the Olympics?
Topic: OlympicsIssue: Relationship between politics and sports
Context: Present
Keywords: Agree, Boycott, the, Olympics. but not just any, it has to be politically justified.
Point:The Olympics was created for sportsmen and not for politicians, thus politicians should have no say in the running of the
Olympics.
Elaboration: The Olympics is an international platform for the atheletes that train day in and out and such a boycott would ruin all the hardwork
an athelete devotes into his training. Atheletes are the ones that train and are affected most by the olympics thus, they should be
the ones deciding on whether they should participate or not and not their nations.
Evidence: The current Prime Minister of Taiwan's threat to boycott China's olympic games may well ruin it's nations athelete's
future, as such there is currect dissent in Taiwan's sports community.
Evaluation: A boycott of the Olympics should not be left to the hands of politicians but to the atheletes who would obviously want
to continue their participation.
Link: Thus boycotting the Olympics something that the atheletes would not want and thus should not be carried out.
