As I watch over the next two weeks on my Chinese made TV I will cheer for the US athletes and just enjoy the competition . After that we can get back to all the crazy stuff that makes the world go round .

I like the way you think, bravo. i look at things sometimes through the lens of "let the terrorists win" when deciding to do/not do something.
Not watching is not protesting, it's letting terrorists win. It's missing out on shared pride and patriotism for our team, the Americans who have worked for years to get on the field/slope/rink to be their best and the best America has to offer.
Honor them by watching. Stop buying Chinese products and write to Corporate America asking them to shift their supply chain out of China if you want to protest and actually proactively make a difference.
