The IOC's effective policy:
'We will do business with any totalitarian regime as long as there is a profit in it for us. This is a proud tradition since the 1936 Nazi Olympic games.' the persecution of LGBT people, or any other group, is 'not our problem'.

These sponsors condone the torture and murder of gay Russian children:
Coca-cola
Atos
Dow
GE
Mcdonalds
Omega
Panasonic
Procter and Gamble
Samsung
Visa
and don't forget NBC

Hate is corporate policy until it starts costing big bucks. Ignore hate, and it won't go away.
SOCHI HATE

Are you also condemning all the athletes, including GLBT athletes cali Sep 2013 #10

I won't, but the athletes DO have a choice to boycott. The IOC also should be taking action. cleanhippie Sep 2013 #11
