Sochi is the host of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Known for their controversiality surrounding homophobia, stray dogs, historical conspiracies, possibility of terrorism and suspiciously poor conditions for American journalists. Some athletes complain about icey snow, difficult tracks, warm weather etc, while many people are trying to "boycott" the Games, which would mean not watching them.
IMO part:
Russian people shouldn't be blaimed for the poor conditions and closed-mindedness in Sochi, but their politics and media. Focusing our anger on Russia as a whole and complaining what a shithole it is, proves how xenophobic we are and creates unwanted political tension. A sports event should be about athletes and their achievements, not about the place where it takes place.

If the backlash about the XXII Olympic Winter Games is so strong, I can only imagine what it was like in the USA during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Hitler Germany.
George Takei made a petition to move the XXII Olympic Winter Games to another city 6 months before them, although preparations for an Olympic event take years.

Get the Attention Span Olympics mug.A discipline where the contestant tries to poop as far as possible.
To make a poop, the competitor starts in a slightly recessed concrete-surfaced circle of 2.5 meters (8 feet 2½ inches) diameter. The pooper typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the poop.
He then spins around one and a half times through the circle to build momentum, then releases his poop.
During the final phase the athlete may begin to release a fart to further accelerate the poop as well as to create an air cushion effect.
