Thursday, April 17, 2008; Olympics Do you agree with a boycott of the Olympics? Topic: Olympics Issue: Boycott of the Olympics Context: Present Keywords: Boycott, Olympics Stand: No, the Olympics should not be boycotted Point: The Olympics is THE stage for athletes from all nations show off their skills and the achievements which they have made in training for this special event. A boycott would mean depriving athletes the chance to make a name for themselves. Elaboration: Athletes train for long periods of time so as to make it to this rare sports occasion held only once every four years. A boycott of the Olympics is not only insulting to the host nation but as a result relations between these countries will be further strained and the hopes and dreams of the athletes who have waited for this opportunity will be crushed. Evidence: The Moscow Olympics boycott was led by the United States followed by 64 other countries in protest of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. While a boycott of the Olympics does not have lasting impacts of that country, it is a selfish act by the government as ultimately the athletes are the ones who suffer. Evaluation: A boycott of the Olympics is not the way to go, it does not achieve its aim of solving any existing problems, at the end of the day neither parties benefit from such a decision. Link: Thus boycotting the Olympics is a selfish and unwise decision to make. Bryan i screamed at
