With all the controversy surrounding Russia's new homosexual propaganda law, I'm curious if ya'll are going to watch it or boycott it?

I'm on the fence, myself.

A personal boycott won't help anyone or change anything. I plan to watch as much as possible, because I am and always have been an Olympics junky. Bring on the snow, the athletes, and the spectacle, says I!!

If the US athletes are there, I'll support them. The winter games were going on when my wife and I first started dating. Love the idea behind them.

:dunno::dunno: If I do not, it will NOT be because of the politics, I believe the Olympics should be above that and since the Russian government does not represent the other participants or their countries, I support and honor those of good will who take part in the games. .

Well I haven't watched any of the previous olympics, I wasn't planning on watching this one either lol. Also, pretty sure no amount of protesting by Americans, and American organization is going to change Russia's stance on this. Putin will continue to do what he wants.

I plan on watching some of the events. Boycotting watching it will not hurt Russia at all. Tghe people there are the dollars they will get. Hell if no one went it would dam near kill them lol. I love the Bobsled, luge, all the downhill events.

I've never been interested in sports, however to me the whole situation is sort of comical....I mean didn't the olympics originate from ancient Greece? And wasn't homosexualtie one of those common occurances in that time that was actually considered part of family goings on? Oh the iorny.

Yep. Can barely wait. Watched some curling tonight, even though I really don't understand the scoreing.

I too am an Olympics junkie :score:

Given how much I enjoyed the summer Olympics in 2012 I will likely watch at least some of it. I am aware of all the political stuff but l agree with Carolyn, a boycott won't change much.

It's pretty simple, once you know how it works. Only one team scores during each end, the team that has the stone closest to the center of the target. They get one point for each stone closer to the center than the nearest opponent stone. For example if blue's nearest stone is 9 feet away from the center of the target, and red has three stones closer than 9 feet, red gets three points.

I will watch as I can as I really enjoy the winter games.

However, I am very worried that with the recent past we may be looking at a new Munich massacre
