If it's okay to exclude Russians from sport then it's okay to exclude Israelis.

If it's wrong to exclude Israelis then it's wrong to exclude Russians.

Which country? You’re gonna have to be a bit more specific with than that.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Exactly lol. That's why I didn't say, cause there are so so many that it kinda reiterates my point

Yup, unfortunately global politics are such bullshit that Zelensky has to support Israel

Country under attack and striking back at aggressor is sympathetic with other county under attack striking back at aggressor

Who would have thought

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry in your fantasy world land grabbing Russia is the aggressor but land grabbing Israel is the victim? Do you have memory prior to October 2023?

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

To be fair I don't think Russians are excluded because of their "special military operation". I'm pretty sure it's because they always cheated with performance enhancing drugs.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 3 months ago

Poorly hidden ones for sure

[-] Neon@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago

Russians are excluded because of doping smartass....

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

They are not. Currently Russian and Belarusian athlete are invited as Individual Neutral Athletes because of the Ukrainian war.
