George Takei's Fans Divided Over Call To Move Sochi Olympics to Vancouver (CBC)

George Takei's call to move next year's Winter Olympics out of the host city Sochi, Russia -- possibly to Vancouver -- has been met with both support for the intention but also skepticism about its feasibility.

Takei, best known as helmsman Lt. Sulu in the original Star Trek television series, is calling for the Games to move to Vancouver from Sochi to protest Russia's anti-gay laws.

He also called on his thousands of followers on Twitter to weigh in on the matter.
