The free world needs to boycott the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, just as they should have boycotted the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany.

How about all american sport profis start the boycott? No more baseball, football till the orange dictator is gone? I see regularly more people on sporting events than demonstrating. If all american athletes start to boycott the olympics, then you could ask other athletes to follow. Otherwise no

We are at war with our own illegitimate government. There will be casualties, and the athletes are just one group of victims of this fascist regime. Folks will be jailed, beaten, harassed, deported. I am not deaf to the injuries the athletes will sustain, but they are just a few of many.

Pyrrhic victory. Owens was heroic, but Hitler got the grand stage he wanted to demonstrate Nazi might and prowess. Having this went a long way toward normalizing Hitler's regime, which helped pave the way to the 1938 Munich Agreement www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1hh...

Per "Caste" by Wilkinson, the NAZIs wanted to LEGALLY kill minorities & Jews (& take their wealth), so they instituted Jim Crow laws. They found laws for legal oppression & murder in the US South! NAZIs=White Supremacists=US South Jim Crow! The seeds of Hitler's genocide germinated in the USA.

The likelihood of international athletes and staff being held at the airport for days, many being detained and deported based on data on their phones or social media is extremely high. The felon's intention to militarize the Games will chill participation. We need to toss the Games to Vancouver.

Boycotting the 2028 Olympics will be a lot easier after Trump comes to the realization that he can make a lot of money by refusing to grant visas to athletes unless nations pay for those visas, or his outright refusal to issue visas to nations he hates. Seriously, how does this not happen?

I have mixed feelings on this. I would say we need to see how this pans out as California is fighting back. It’s not fair to the athletes who have been training all their lives to boycott games. However, if it is unsafe for people to come to the US, then I understand boycotting is the only answer.

Many sports hold world championships every 2 or 3 years. Athletes have more than the Olympics to compete on an international stage. I'd hope our athletes would be patriotic enough to not represent the shithole we've become. This regime would only use their participation as credibility.

If other countries do not participate, then more Americans will win and Trump will celebrate that. I propose they protest in other ways like this from the Mexico Olympics in 1968. Can you imagine how upset they would be if athletes draped themselves in the Palestinian flag? That’s just one idea.

I'm advocating that the Americans don't participate either. I think it's best for everyone to boycott the games. And I know about '68, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos. Tommie Smith originally wanted to boycott but could not get enough support.
