London does not represent the spirit of the games, rather the ghost of a sport

So the IOC have decided to give the olympics to a country that has banned its own sportsmen from taking part in some of the olympic sports in their own country. I can't imagine why, what with all this talk of the spirit of the olympics, this didn't turn out to be an insurmountable stumbling block.

Sport for all? Encourage our youth to embrace sport? Our sporting heritage? All fine and dandy if it's the right sport.

Liberty, the freedom of the individual, the right to do as you please as long as you do not harm anyone else....you cannot hold all these things as dearly as you might think if you support this decision.
