Critics call for a boycott, but the Games come off as planned. And on the field of world opinion, the host scores an enormous victory.<br/><br/><a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-rutten9apr09,0,6543352.column" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">In 1936</a>, serious movements urging an outright boycott of the Berlin Games were mounted in the United States, Britain, France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands. Adolf Hitler had come to power two years after the International Olympic Committee had awarded <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/olympics.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Berlin the Games</a> as a symbol of Germany's emergence from its post-World War I isolation. <br/><br/>Now that the Winter Olympics are over, all eyes will soon turn to the Summer Olympics. And that's just what the Chinese want. Like the Germans of the '30s, they will use the Olympics to showcase their economy -- and hide their repressive behavior.<br/><br/>But the rest of us don't have to help. Lest we repeat the errors of 1936, the United States should lead a boycott of the 2008 Olympics. Anything less will give the Chinese the same kind of propaganda boost that the Nazis enjoyed.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Britain's The Red Arrows Banned from the Olympics]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/plime-com/l/35880/1/" /><id>35880</id><summary><![CDATA[Britain's The Red Arrows Banned from the Olympics]]></summary><issued>2007-09-16T23:33:36+01:00</issued><modified>2007-09-16T23:33:36+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The Royal Air Force <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Arrows" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Aerobatic</a> Team, similar to the US Blue <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Angels</a> or <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Air_Force_Thunderbirds" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Thunderbirds</a> may be banned from participating in the 2012 Olympics to be held in England, because they are &quot;too British and might offend some foreigner.&quot;]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Beijing takes dog off the menu for Olympics]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/entertainment/l/68573/1/" /><id>68573</id><summary><![CDATA[Beijing takes dog off the menu for Olympics]]></summary><issued>2008-07-12T18:44:05+01:00</issued><modified>2008-07-12T18:44:05+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Beijing has asked hotels and restaurants in the city to take dog meat off the menu for the duration of next month's Olympics and September's Paralympics.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[London 2012 Olympics may be shown in 3D, says BBC chief]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/entertainment/l/132874/1/" /><id>132874</id><summary><![CDATA[London 2012 Olympics may be shown in 3D, says BBC chief]]></summary><issued>2009-09-12T14:03:03+01:00</issued><modified>2009-09-12T14:03:03+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Roger Mosey, the director of the BBC's 2012 Olympics operation, said the BBC was looking at using new technology to cover the sporting event.<br/><br/>'We could, and I believe should, capture some of the games in 3D,' he told the IBC technology conference in Amsterdam.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Beijing's New Olympic Airport Is the World's LARGEST Building!]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/plime-com/l/52247/1/" /><id>52247</id><summary><![CDATA[Beijing's New Olympic Airport Is the World's LARGEST Building!]]></summary><issued>2008-02-27T07:21:37+01:00</issued><modified>2008-02-27T07:21:37+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[They made this bad-boy for the Olympics, and apparently it is unreal. <br/>&quot;From the sky, the new airport terminal is designed to look like a Chinese dragon&quot;<br/>Things are getting NUTS in Beijing with everything they are building for the Olympics - very interesting article!]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[More than 100 cats rescued from Olympics site]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/science/l/49942/1/" /><id>49942</id><summary><![CDATA[More than 100 cats rescued from Olympics site]]></summary><issued>2008-02-08T20:24:42+01:00</issued><modified>2008-02-08T20:24:42+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[LONDON (Reuters) - More than 160 feral cats and kittens have been rescued from the site of the London 2012 Olympics as demolition work continues at a pace.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[China will do a rain dance early to keep Olympics dry]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://sports.plime.com/plime-com/l/17861/1/" /><id>17861</id><summary><![CDATA[China will do a rain dance early to keep Olympics dry]]></summary><issued>2007-04-25T15:19:43+01:00</issued><modified>2007-04-25T15:19:43+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Chance of showers during the 2008 Beijing Olympics: 50 percent.
