@Hannibal_ @kajakallas Do You know excessive majority 🇷🇺 sportsmen/womans fully support war against Ukraine? How it feels to competite against person who wants to kill You?
@andresp @kajakallas but you’re fine competing against Israel and USA sportspeople? Take a look in the mirror.
@Hannibal_ @kajakallas its called whatabot’ism You are practicing. we are talking about ru and ua
@andresp @kajakallas It is called exceptionalism when you point out 1 example but conveniently forget the most egregious examples
@kajakallas Keep politics out of sports. If you have a gripe with Russian politics, take it up with their government.
