“I hope there’s some noise about, is all; I don’t expect athletes to boycott the games, because it’s obviously kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity for them, but I do hope there’s some publicity and everything about what’s going on there.”

“I just generally don’t really agree with everything Russia’s doing right now in terms of excluding the gay population and all that stuff. At the same time, I guess the whole point of the Olympics is to try and forget about politics and all that stuff and just bring the athletes, and that’s just really what it’s all about. But you can’t avoid that, so, it’s a little grey area.”
