Well, sure
Olympics can be moved theoretically to some village or Vancouver, but in that case probably would be better to cancel them at all
Sochi has the most advanced Winter Olympic stadiums/objects in the world by now (at least that's what athletes from around the world say)

The thing is there were gay athletes all this time, and Olympics were hold in all the different countries with all the different laws and it didn't bother anybody. I don't see how these Olympics differ from the others


Why not to ban Olympics in Sochi because Sochi is in Russia, thus athletes who don't speak Russian would have their "human right" to express their thoughts discriminated. Women don't have penises and men don't have vaginas that seems like another discrimination. That's the same kind of BS.

If gays wouldn't exaggerate their actions to show that they are gays - it wouldn't bother other people

And Mr Obama's concerns that gay athletes will be "discriminated" in Sochi seem completely meaningless and pointless. How will the Russian government discriminate them? There is no "sexual preferencies" field in Russian visa at all!
Or are they going to come in order to tell Russian children how it is cool to be a gay, rather than to participate in competitions?
