The Women's Tennis Association (WTA), based in Florida, not Switzerland, had the courage to suspend all tournaments in the Asian nation out of concern for the well-being of star player Peng Shuai and the safety of other players.
In the meantime, the IOC, much too aware of the financial implication of upsetting the Chinese has labored very hard to try to hide the truth in an unconvincing attempt to tell the world that all was good for her.
It also suggests that it seems unlikely that the Olympic Committees, at least among OECD nations, and all athletes, would have the courage to forgo their traveling perks and their chances to participate and win by boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics (no, the 2022 Winter Hypocrite Games).
If human rights were more important than money, this should, in essence, be the right thing to do and the best way to teach a very profound lesson to the Chinese totalitarian regime...
