Thats not going to stop Putin from parading them around Russia once they’ve won some medals. It would be more helpful if the IOC just said “No”.

thought police!

Isn't it still up to the individual sports committees to have final say?

Don’t you just love that wet noodle stab of defiance they thrusted at their Russian overlords?

Found the Russian apologist.

But do you have a flaaaaag?

This is just ridiculous! Please tell me that you people see what is actually going on here, we are all being duped.

Anyone who supports Russia’s invasion is a scumbag pretty simple.

Surprised there are people against this. Why punish the athletes? If anything it just brings more negative attention to Russia than if they weren’t allowed to compete at all.

Well put!

What power?

Looks like they took a page out of the Air Guitar World Championships playbook... air guitarists from Russia last year competed under the Peace Flag

I don't think you'll find many civilised societies that enjoy folks who cheer war crimes & needless death.

For all our friends around the world, the convo went down like the:

"Now see here fuckwits, you fuckin' about with that nonsense at a fuckin' tennis game can fuck right off"

In all seriousness it's pathetic & disgusting, citizenship revoked and a giant fuck you boot up the arse for good measure.

Give them the russian treatment, they love it so much send them to the front lines.

Pussies. Russian athletes should be fully banned. All of them. They are not being one in a peaceful world. Ban them all. IOC has a lack of courage to deny all of them the ability to compete.
