I’ve felt uncomfortable about the collective punishment of Russians since this all began. It’s not like a Russian tennis player is setting foreign policy…
Quite right. Punishing an entire people for the actions of what is essentially their dictator is backward as fuck.
A step in the right direction. This culture of mass banning anything Russian is quite frankly disgusting. It is actively endorsing the discrimination of Russians and encouraging xenophobia. How anyone can support such a move is beyond me.
Russia uses athletes as soft power. We’ve already seen multiple Russian Athletes wearing Z symbols and even doing salutes. Russia needs to feel isolated and unwelcome while it is committing genocide.
Tennis players who don’t like it can always join the millions who have left Russia. Their inconvenience of not getting the luxury of playing sports hits Russia and is a necessary evil.
Russia are being banned from lots of things, I don’t see why a fuss is being made about this in particular.
As long as we ban americans next time they decide to invade somewhere.
I think like in the Olympics, they should be given the opportunity to represent themselves under the Olympic flag. They’re not representing their country, and themselves and good sportsmanship
Russia uses athletes as propaganda, all the world should ban them
