If the governments etc aren't going to do anything (although i do appreciate the efforts of the Netherlands and some other countries.) I suspect the best effect could be to target the money connected to the olympics. Boycott watching the games and boycott brands that sponsor the games. They have so much money on the line, it might encourage the IOC to act - or at least think more carefully about what countries host games in the future.lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750391897963478530.post-19019804334830780892013-08-12T02:46:09.182-07:002013-08-12T02:46:09.182-07:00Thank you for your hard, accurate and totally movi...Thank you for your hard, accurate and totally moving article. <br><br>To all the readers:<br>Together we can change the situation.
