Because that worked out so well in 2008 …
The International Olympic Committee is seriously contemplating giving the Olympics to China again — the same Olympics that caused a wave of thuggery, censorship, bullying, and even rioting, and were a public relations fiasco for China.
More relevant for purposes of this blog, it also led to a wave of round-ups of North Korean refugees. That means that the International Olympic Committee’s award of the Olympics to China will likely cost hundreds, if not thousands, of North Korean lives.
Ugh. The IOC really doesn’t care about human rights. I got the impression they were smugly pleased at what a “success” the winter games in Sochi were! And they’ll go on ignoring all those silly protesters until the poop hits the fan in a really, really big way.
