It is absurd for these corrupt sports organizations to dictate that athletes from all over the world subject themselves to abuse at the hands of the US government.

I don't expect this one to be any different.
I do watch the figure skating and ice dancing but that isn't featured in the summer Olympics, damned if I know why.

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.
