What’s the purpose of forbidding Russia from playing sports? I mean sure sanctions and all but what’s sport gonna do? I would understand if the sports teams did or said something that would warrant the ban but I don’t think most of the players are pro Putin? I guess I’m just uninformed on the opinions of Russian sport players lol (and in general I guess)
I think it has more to do with sending a message to their people. The team represent their nation, and their nation has started a war of aggression, so the nation and therefore the team shouldn’t be welcome. It is sad for the players though.
It’s also not fair that Russian players get to practice and train in peace, while Ukrainian players have to deal with all of the consequences of the invasion.
The purpose is that you don’t have to remain professional in face of tyranny and oppression. I would also lay down my sneakers if a Rusnia was on the other team, because I don’t want to be forced to ‘be civil’ when their kind is around. I would also guess that officially, none of the moscovite players denounce the war, so you could technically say they are not against it, which would repulse me to my core.
Thirdly, any opportunity to let Soviet 2.0 Beta show themselves in a positive light is not welcome in Europe. It grows their cause, and they suck butt so it shouldn’t grow it should peter out.
