More then politics seem to be rearing their ugly heads this year. The Iranian judo champ is refusing to compete against the Israeli champ.

But I do agree, this is not about politics. This should be about the atheletes that have earned the right to compete in the games. Many years of dedication and hard work for them and they should be recognized for that, even if they do not go home with a medal.
