7. Boycotts must be focused

We boycotted the 1980 Olympics and the only thing it accomplished was to crush the dreams of 1000s of young Americans that spent years training for the world stage.


Boycott things that do not directly affect the people we are trying to protect.

Move the Tourney elsewhere next year- but if they moved the tourney now - 100s of people that NEED to work these events would be out of expected money. Obviously only talking about low level support\food industry people - the rich remain that way regardless of protests.


There are plenty of things to boycott to show abject disgust with this 'law' - just avoid ones that are in place to, ostensibly, highlight the skills of young men that are trying to get somewhere better in life.
