Olympic Boycott

The Sochi Olympics are nearing its final days. I have watched no live events in accord with a personal ban against Russia's hardline against homosexuality and free speech. Putin has instituted draconian measures against any protests. Yesterday Cossacks attacked members of Pussy Riot with whips. They were dragged down to the police station and thankfully released after several hours.

As much as I love hockey, I have missed the USA's epic shoot-out win against Russia and tomorrow I'll shunned the gold medal match between the USA and Canada.

A boycott is a boycott and I'm in it to the end, unless it's close in the 3rd period, then my love for hockey will win over the boycott.

Being a Gemini I'm very gifted at being a hypocrite.
