The Russo-Ukrainian War Thread (FKA Political Thread)

I think the truth with sport is - if the team is representing Russia or the sportspeople's funding is Russian -then I understand the ban.

In regards to single individuals - banning, say a driver who is Russian by birth - but his or her nationality has no affect on their team or banning a Russian NHL player - is a step too far.

There is a difference between collective representation and an independent individual.

That is what I lean towards. Individuals are not responsible for their own country's actions, especially under contract with a North American sports team. But a team flying under the Russian banner, right now, just can't.

I'm telling y'all some of these people can't walk and chew gum at the same time bc they assume if you talk about one issue you must not care about a completely unrelated one that isn't the topic at the moment. Oh you want gay rights, what about starving kids in Africa?:lmao
