London 2012 Olympics

I am simply saying that the people protesting today are not protesting about sport, they are protesting about China's human rights violations.

I agree that this is also an issue, but I was simply pointing out that the protesters today were more engaged in raising awareness of the Chinese government's brutal and violent actions against it's own people and were less concerned about London's cycle paths, to that effect the issues are separate.

It wasn't a counter argument to yours, more to the general 'keep politics out of sport' line one hears so often.

BTW, we didn't lose some cycle paths - we lost the best cycle sport facility in the South East when Eastway went.
