With several major countries (US, China) boycotting, it was an easy excuse for other countries, for whom the Olympics is a big expense but who never win anything, to save some money for a change.
The question is, why does fucking Somalia sens their 3 athletes at all. ever?

Anyone who hated the USSR at the time boycotted. Why non-US aligned states like Iran, China, Somalia, Indonesia, Zaire etc aren't there
Europe in the 80s was swept up in rather contrarian anti-americanism

Agreed, a USA lapdogs map would include mostly the butthurt belt. Even UK isn't such a top cuck as say, Poland.
