I’ll bet Jacques Rogge and the IOC are a bunch of unhappy campers right about now. The unelected, august body of sporting elitists got s**t thrown into their faces by none other than the group Reporters sans Frontieres, a group which actually contacted me a year and a half ago. They were protesting China’s crackdown on Tibet.
And they did it at the right moment too, when the DFCs were speaking, unveiling a large banner bearing...you guessed it...the Olympic Rings as handcuffs, and in a statement released by the group, they urged heads of state to boycott the opening ceremony. While that, in and of itself, is a noble goal, I doubt that with the money involved in organizing these games, that will be accomplished. But hey, it could still happen.
