Frank Deford goes through the various protests/suggestions for dealing with Russia's anti-gay laws and the Olympics, and has a suggestion of his own.

"If there was any courage or decency in what is so smugly called the Olympic movement, there is one noble way to handle this. Simple: Every country which opposes Russia's ugly anti-gay laws should refuse to send its officials to the games in Sochi."

Ah, I always enjoy listening to Frank Deford in the morning.
