International CNN reporting: Biden admin to announce diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics

[MicroBrew]

- CNN is reporting that the Biden administration will announce this week a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Which means no US official will attend the games.

- It is not a full boycott so American atheletes are still free to compete.

This is pretty much governmental virtual signaling

 

[ShadowRun]

Wow racist administration

 

[Broke Lester]

Who gives a crap, as long as the athletes that trained their asses off can compete.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Political equivalent of posting a social justice meme on your Instagram story sandwiched between a picture of your lunch and a bikini ass shot in Cabo.

 

[shankmcgank]

Lol empty virtue signaling.

 

[Scheme]

I will also not be attending the Beijing Winter Olympics

 

[bobgeese]

Biden still on their payroll tho...

 

[koquerelle]

But the athletes will compete?!? I'm so confused.

Jianping Joe won't make any serious moves against China

 

[ElKarlo]

I’ll wait til the official announcement before making any real comment. It could be a serious move or if just be basically empty rhetoric

But the athletes will compete?!? I'm so confused.

I guess that means people that no one cares about going won’t be going

That's what I see. What is the point?

 

[Blayt7hh]

It’s like when the russian team got caught using a state sponsored doping program and were still allowed to compete but just not under the Russian flag, except even more meaningless.

if Biden was actually playing chess he’d crown some infected people diplomats and send them over there.

 

[w00t]

 

[Fox by the Sea]

i am sure the chinese are destroyed by Biden's refusal to shit his pants in their country as well.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Great. Fuck over a bunch of non-political athletes while allowing big business to plod merrily along. That'll show China.

If it is boycotted then does the government even pay them?

How do they afford it then?
