Description: The hashtag #NoRussiaNoGames is going viral among Russian citizens and celebrities alike. Some Russians are angry over Russia's banning from the 2018 Olympics. The hashtag calls for a boycott of the Olympic Games, an action that the government doesn't seem to be planning. The international Olympic community found that Russia systematically cheated at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Doping was so widespread that the International Olympic Committee took the unprecedented step of banning the whole country. Clean Russian athletes will be allowed to compete, but under a neutral flag. Russia claims that it will get over the ban, but will its pride survive?
