Iran threatens London boycott over 'racist' Olympic logo

[Mookz 1,288]

 

Iran is threatening to boycott of the 2012 London Olympics because it claims the official logo for the games resembles the word "Zion," which is a biblical term for Jerusalem.

 

Bahram Afsharzadeh, the secretary-general of Iran's National Olympic Committee, says he sent a letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge in which he condemns the logo as "racist" and calls upon other Muslim countries to join in protest.

Screw Iran and all, but that has to be the worst Olympic logo of all time.

If a country boycotts the Olympics, and never wins medals anyway, did they really boycott it?

The Olympics will surely suck without any Muslim countries participating.

If they are really offended by the word Zion, then they have a point, it's not hard to see. Not sure why it'd be a big deal, though... if it pisses you off, pump up the steroid program and go win some medals in protest.

If you want to see the word ZION then you are going to see it. Looks and awful lot like 2011 to me though.

Thats just what the Zionists want you to think.

I would boycott because that logo is so bad it makes the Big 11+1 Champions and Legends divisions seem creatively brilliant.

I was really hoping to watch the Iranians compete against the Jamaicans in the bobsled... damn

I guess the 100m World Record is safe a little longer.

I kind of like the logo... reminds me of a Keith Haring painting.
