The Politics of Sports

A few heads of state have publicly declared they will not be attending the opening ceremony of the 22nd Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia on February 6th, as a response to Moscow’s treatment of its LGBT communities.

We ask foreign policy expert Elina Noor about this and examine the history of boycotts at major sporting events.
