They joined the call, that call is growing, but the sad thing is that it's only growing with European democracies. Too bad the rest of y'all are the suck.

Or just opposition to invading other countries.

Why don't you guys have this same energy when you're the ones doing the invading?

Some of us do. But I do think there is s distinction between invading specifically for the purpose of permanently taking over compared to the premise of only temporarily "sabing." in fact we did get put of Iraq and Afghanistan, granted with very different countries.

Ij any case, i dont see how justifying Russias aggression makes anything better. I'm guessing you are misguided, a Russian bot, or simply want to see the world burn.

I'm sure the dead Iraqi and Afghan civilians appreciate the distinction.

I am against Russia's invasion. I just wish you guys gave a shit when the people getting massacred aren't white.

All of the rest of the countries should threaten to walk, and actually follow through if they let them participate.

You either get an olympics with every country but Russia and Belarus or you get one with only Russia and Belarus.

What are the negatives of having those athletes compete without a flag or national recognition? I truly don't see how this option could ruin the Olympics.

It's the same thing in tennis where some of the best players in ATP or WTA are from Russia/Belarus but I'd rather see them compete with no country beside their name than not compete at all.

Why are we punishing athletes for the sins of their government? I know the answer but still..

Do these people really see no issue with trying to ban Russia from the Olympics while holding the games in France? Non-white lives matter too, ya know

I don’t remember that US athletes were banned ever for their government actions

Neither did Russia get banned for Chechen wars and Georgian war.

Forsaken_Language_66 t1_j8o6lnr wrote

exactly.. no athletes were ever banned for actions that had nothing to do with them

Sorry for late reply, but I guess the reason why the Ukraine war hits closer to these possible restrictions is the amount of awareness and how close it is to the European Union.

That's why more action against Russia is being called. Nevermind the fact that a lot of footage has leaked indiscriminately from Ukraine. (Not to undermind the stuff that has leaked from middle eastern wars) It's closer to majority of internet and western users

They banned losers of WW1 on 1920 Some countries refused to go in 1956 because of Russia.

Taiwan couldn’t join in a decade.

There were a lot of other boycots. You say it like it’s new thing.

Agreed but this is a war between NATO and Russia. A little different situation with much bigger implications.

If it was an actual NATO war, it would have been over about 12 months ago.

I don’t know why we do this. Beating the Soviet’s in the 80s at hockey as an American felt so goddamn good. Let them play and just beat their ass.

Cyneganders t1_j8ndxl2 wrote

Because their entire crop of athletes is so full of PEDs that there's barely room for blood.

And now they've spent first Covid away from ADAs and also a year banned from sports so no ADAs.

Also, they use their athletes are dolls for their cult meetings that are televised, and they give them military ranks, and use them to show "Russian supremacy"...

Also, anybody who beats them is on drugs and it's a conspiracy and woe is on them and it's them vs the world.
