In the next few years Russia will be very
busy hosting some of the world’s most important sporting events. Coming up this
February Russia will be hosting the Winter Olympics in Sochi and there have
been a lot of international conflicts over Vladimir Putin’s outlooks on what he
calls the gay problem. There has been controversy centered on sponsors such as McDonalds
and Coke wondering whether or not they want their logo being worn to such an
event. Russia has recently released
draconian new anti-gay propaganda which causes concern for the athletes,
guests, and media attending the Winter Olympics this next year. We can only
hope that Putin can find a compromise to his problem with homosexuals by the
time the Soccer World Cup is to be held in Russia in 2014. For America soccer
may not be the most popular sport but to the rest of the world, and to many soccer-loving
Americans, the World Cup is the Olympics.
