Russian athletes were banned under the banner of "principles." But this was never about principles. It was about competition.
Russia dominated the Olympics for decades. Figure skating, gymnastics, wrestling, hockey. Consistent top-three finisher.
Then suddenly, it's about "values."
The US invaded Iraq on false pretenses, killed over a million people, and competed without question.
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, documented in real time. Zero sporting consequences.
Which makes the standard painfully clear.
When you cannot beat someone fairly, you change the rules. Russian athletes were removed because they kept winning.
@SuseZr @GinJarrel @CTVAtlantic It is a liberal cesspool like he says lady and Houston is red Tory so go take hard look in mirror. It’s you he’s talking about.
