Where do you stand on Russia being banned from the Olympics a second time?

[Invisibleflash]

Because of the Ukraine war, Russia has been banned a second time from the Olympics.

Where do you stand on this?

 

[pknopp]

Let them participate.

 

[my2¢]

As on the majority of things, I don't care one way or other.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Individuals have worked all their lives to be the best and then are denied of the chance to prove it. They are the ones getting hurt by this. Not Putin.
Let them compete.

 

[Darkwind]

I honestly could not give two shits less.

 

[MarathonMike]

Let them compete on the condition that they lead the Russian Rebellion when they get back to Russia.

I say it's pathetic posturing. I've noticed that American Democrats and thus the EU and globalists have this hangup on Russia just like they do on Israel. It's like the country is extra-evil.. I mean, look at all the war mongering you saw from Democrats, offering up so many Ukrainians to die while they just waved their Ukraine flags. Russia and Ukraine should have negotiated, Trump wanted that. American Democrats pushed for "no concessions" from Ukraine, and Ukraine stupidly took it... and killed tons of men. Sometimes you have to retreat, and Ukraine should have retreated in the initial admitted invasion by Russia. Lick their wounds and politick for negotiating things back with support from us.

But anyways, Russia should be in. There's far worse countries that will participate, like Iran.

A link would have been nice.

Is Russia competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics? Athlete participation, explained

Some individual athletes from the banned countries will be permitted to participate in the Milano Cortina Winter Games

I think the virtue signaling cheapens the whole affair....The most wintery countries there are should be competing.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

They can compete as long as they change their name to Team Trump

 

[Mack The Finger]

NOT COOL...IMHO !

I don't support it because it undermines the original intent of the olympics-- generate lots of profits come together in spite of our differences.

 

[TheInfiniteSadness]

Some are competing as Neutrals

[Sparker]

The Olympics, especially the Winter Olympics, will need Russian money and Russian talent as Europe descends into third world status and new demographics have zero interest in the winter sports.

 

[Ringo]

Without one of the strongest teams, the Olympic Games cannot be considered global; they are merely a closed club for a select few, where only certain people are allowed to participate. Like Epstein's island. Something like this:

It's not half as competitive! I haven't watched Ladies FS since Russia kicked out of Int'l Events!

In Figure Skating, USA won the GOLD medals in the Team Event over Japan's Silver! Italy salvaged the Bronze medal in the 2026 Milan Olympics!

Did the US get banned for invading Iraq in 2003? Nope.

There's the problem.

Full ban, as long as the Moscow empire remains within its current imperialistic borders
