So far I've only watched the opening ceremony and some of the female gymnastic qualification round. I'm not much of a sports guy but I'll flip to it from time to time.
A few of my friends make me laugh by saying they are "boycotting the Olympics." I find it pretty funny because what good are they really doing? They aren't purchasing anything from the Olympics or paying for it in the first place so what are they really denying the Chinese other than a few less people watching it? They sure as hell aren't going to get any policies or laws changed either. It does no good to "boycott" it by not watching it. You're basically just missing some of the best sport competition and missing out on seeing the USA take down some medals.
