Title: UK making an Olympic mistake Post by: neorealist on February 20, 2008, 01:36:15 AM http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=513362&in_page_id=1770&ct=5
Looks like the UK has forced it athletes to sign a contract that requires they do NOT criticize the Chinese gov't or they cannot compete....very very weak move IMO. The UK did this once in the past: (http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/02_01/naziMOS0902_468x196.jpg) English performing the Nazi salute Its ridiculous they won't let them criticize the Chinese gov't. If they want them to not participate in protests and speaking with the Chinese media in a manner which isn't conducive to the communist party then fine....but this contract is over the top. I am actually considering not watching the Olympics...and thats saying something for this nationalist.
