RE: DiGinnasio | Is it fair to exclude Russian nationality participants (or Russian teams) from various competitions?
I think that in any tense situation that could lead to war or has already done so, EVERY diplomatic means should be used to end that situation. Sport, common sport, fair and peaceful competitions, are a very successful diplomatic means to calm the waves, to postpone conflicts. They do not take place at the negotiating table, but in front of a very large auditorium. Sport can build bridges; exclusion tears them down...
This would have been the perfect closing remark. I agree, but perhaps the reason they don’t want to end that situation is that war has become a lucrative business.
You’re right, but unfortunately, for those sports organizers who prioritize audience revenue, I think peace is not always in their best interest...
