Boycott it in what way Patrick, by not watching it?
That would be just silly,we are viewers and if interested in sport and competition we will watch it.
Bit like asking would people boycott the FIFA world cup because of widespread financial corruption in the organisation, they would still watch if they are interested in televised football.

I'll definitely watch Andy Murray, some of the football, and some minor sports that are seldom televised, depending on when they're broadcast; but too many of the track and field athletes particularly are likely to be drug cheats for me to waste my time watching them.

I don't enjoy sport. I am not planning to watch any of the Olympics. I will read the papers . I don't have faith in any sport really.

I'll watch some of the tennis and the skeet/trap shooting. Don't see the point in boycotting.

I'm interested in sport and competition, but I likely won't take any time out of my day (night) for the Olympics. About as much as I did for Euro 2016 and I love football, just not what the "top end" has become (though I admit to Iceland giving some hope, but that will be short lived). |

I am not a big sports fan but I'll watch the ones that interest me.

No interest in sport, no interest in the Olympics. I'll be watching a lot of DVDs, I'd guess.

I won't be boycotting the Olympics. I love watching them. Have done for many years.
In particular:
Tennis
Swimming
Equestrian
Track and field
Gymnatics (love both artistic and rhythmic)
Archery
Plus some of the lesser seen sports

I understand the BBC is organising floats to drive through all major cities re-enacting Olympic events they've run out of channels to show.

Lol!
Seriously if they cut the yack and waffle and massaging the egos of the celeb presenters on the main channels they could show more sports but they're too arrogant to do that.
