Finally. the view that the Olympics are somehow "above" politics implies that there is something that is automatically and inherently "low" about politics. But there is nothing "low" about the politics of principle. There is nothing low about standing up for the rights of the people who have been overrun. who have been murdered. who have been driven from their homes. who have been thrown into prisons. who have become refugees in other countries. There is nothing "low" about speaking out against firing squads. or the destruction of a homeland. There are also additional important reasons pertaining to the conduct of nations.
