 * [[image:781752133_ef463a3ced.jpg width="181" height="136"]] || There are many cons of boycotting the Beijing Olympics. One is when you boycott, you will be punishing the athletes and not the Chinese government. This will also put the attention on China and their abusive human rights. Sports are not connected to politics. You can’t let politics get in the way of Olympic spirit! It is not our business to make trouble for China, one of our leading trading partners. The Olympics are about all the countries coming together in peace and harmony. We certainly do not want to make the Chinese mad. We should not boycott. ||

For example, if we boycott the Olympics it will send many different messages to China. It will send a message to China to stop the genocide in Darfur, stop the killings in Tibet, and it will send a message about its pollution. It will also show China that the United States and other countries will not stand for its human rights. Also by boycotting the Beijing Olympics it will add pressure to china to act more responsible in the future, with its pollution and its human rights. Finally, it will tarnish Chinas reputation as a country. ||
