didnt a bunch of people boycott it when china was hosting it?

Yeah because the Olympic committee are a bunch of idiots. They keep saying that the Olympics are not political, while being obviously political.

Allowing China to host was a political decision. It showed support for China, no matter how much the Olympic committee said it didn't.

Morons the lot of them.
