There is no contest in this argument. These
people are of but little value as if they were truly sporting
they wouyld speak out against the human rights abuse
in their nation. They have better access to the media than most,
that's for sure.. (What media?)
These people are only tokens from an inhumane bunch
of hard drug dealing b'stards, and you waste time worrying
if their little feelings (what feelings?) are going to be hurt?
Oh no... Not in my book of logic.
