The U.S. may not be officially boycotting, but I am.

I don't know about the US government, but I'm boycotting the Sochi Olympics and its sponsors.

I will not be watching. I will not be buying Olympic swag. I will be boycotting all their advertisers, sponsors and marketing partners.

Big ones include Coca-Cola, GE, McDonalds, Panasonic, Dow, Samsung. A complete list is here:

For those of you with iPhones or Android phones, and the Buycott app ( http://www.buycott.com/ ), there's a campaign there to boycott Sochi sponsors and suppliers here: http://www.buycott.com/campaign/631/sochi-2014-boycott-sponsors-suppliers
