I do watch the figure skating and ice dancing but that isn't featured in the summer Olympics, damned if I know why.

(6,108 posts)I would hope other nations would want to protect their athletes and citizens from the abuse and potential detainment or arrest. I know it's disheartening to the athletes who have worked so hard to get there. I would hope they also see the immense danger in coming to the U.S.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
