Yep, I'm not watching the Olympics, and frankly, I'm surprised at how unabashedly excited everyone seems to be about Sochi. It's kind of embarrassing. I guess it's easy to brush off any concerns about the human rights of Russia's citizens - queer or not - in the service of good television, I mean, displays of superior athleticism in service to nationalistic pride.
I actually really like the winter Olympics (remember, I went to Vancouver), but this just feels wrong in so many ways that I can't stomach it. I will probably get a lot of reading and/or knitting done while the ladyfriend watches Olympic hockey (yes, she's watching). I will, however, watch highlights on SportsCentre.
