A boycott will not accomplish a thing other than affecting the ATHLETES. Olympic games are for the athletes not politicians. I care about the athletes not the politicians reason why I am so vocal against any boycott, even with the fact that the Olympics has become a giant business enterprise, but that is another subject of debate. The Olympics provide the athletes the benefit of performing against the best of the World. You may say, well what about the world championships in different disciplines? It's not the same as the world championships, that is nice too, but it does not compare with the Olympics, the feeling is not the same. Let the athletes compete and let the politicos stay out of it, its very simple.
