What are the repercussions of the U.S. boycotting the Olympics in Berlin in 1936, Moscow in 1980, and Beijing in 2008? What if there was a policy or domestic legislation passed during the 30's or 80's that made it law that the U.S. couldn't participate in Olympics games in totalitarian states? I read about there being an unsuccessful push for boycotting Berlin, would FDR ever consider it? What if his rivals politicized it? Also who would join in in '36 and '08?
