Could there be possible boycotts of the games by some countries because of them?
Probably only a few tbh. Unless trump follows through on greenland and Canada I just don't see it. West had hate for Russia (and tbh Russia also had a reputation for serious racism in football) following crimea and they did no boycott on the world cup or winter olympics. And trump loves spectacle so he will probably slow down on some of the fuckery or hold em off until then.
Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico and probably some other latin american countries will 100% boycott the 2028 LA Olympics. Idk if China will boycott it but it's a possibility, which will probably lead to Trump screaming about how the US is getting all the gold medals when they win against San Marino and American Samoa.
I can see the games in the US being boycotted by some people, there will also be games held in Mexico and Canada.
