France stated that they will not compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics if safety cannot be guaranteed in the state of North Korea. Due to their atomic weapon program worsting. They fear that tensions between North Korea and some other countries will worsen, leading to a threat of the games and protection of the athletes. Due to this ticket profits have not been up to par either. There has been a lack of purchased tickets due to the military tension between nations scaring away tourist and corporate scandals taking the attention for the Olympic games. Only having sold 30% of the 1.1 Million Tickets. With this in mind, do you think we should consider not competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics?
If it meant preventing tensions to rise and the doomsday clock to decrease to a minute to midnight, then the United States should not consider competing in the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteHaving known that in North Korea there might be a threat to the athletes then I agree with Erick that the United States should pull out of the Olympics and not compete because we shouldn't be risking people that are competing in the olympics for the US.
