Don't watch the Beiijing Winter Olympics

Coca-Cola, Airbnb, Bridgestone, Intel, Panasonic, Procter & Gamble, Samsung, Visa, Comcast, Delta Air Lines, Salesforce, Deloitte, Nike, Jetset Sports, Oakley, Ralph Lauren, and Toyota are some of the major advertisers of the Beiijing Winter Olympics being put on by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

There is an ongoing cultural genocide against the Uyghurs of western China. Less reported, there are also attempts to stamp-out Mongolian culture in north-eastern China. Add to that the annexation of Tibet and Hong Kong, the attempts to seize the South China Sea as well as the persecution of religious minorities and the endless belligerence aimed at the country of Taiwan.

These boardrooms have placed profits over conscience. In whatever way you can, you don't have to do the same. One easy, albeit only a small step, is not to watch a minute of the Olympics. Let those advertising dollars go to waste.
