I think we CAN boycott---even if it is only for the duration of the games!
Coke---fine if we drink soft drinks we can make sure not to buy Coke products!
Johnson and Johnson is a tough one since they make my favorite skincare line Neutrogena and your allergy meds Zyrtec.
Yeah VISA is the big bad----BUT---we could do it---especially if we made sure to use our check card as a debit and not credit! We could write checks and carry cash---for 2 weeks I think we could do it!
I think I will make a pledge to boycott these brands and sponsors during the duration of the OLYMPICS. I will make a pledge not to purchase any products from them for that time period. I tihnk that's totally do-able!
One of the problems with boycotting large diversified companies is that they ARE so diversified! But don't say we can't make a difference! Even if it is for our own peace of mind! I think on a grassroot slevel boycotts work quite nicely---now the challenge is to see if we can create a "grassroots" movement by mentioning your boycott on your journal *wink*
