Why should she be punished due to actions of a dictator from her place of birth? I’ve no problem banning the football teams playing as they’re playing for a team that is representing that nation as a whole, but in sports such as tennis their nationality is irrelevant as she’s competing as an individual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 305 Posted January 27 OK.. Emily Pankhurst Not happy with your country of birth, do something about it. Not rely on a cushy position in Capitalist land. I'm sure there are decent international standard sportswomen and men laying down their lives on the Donetsk frontline and that **** is just coining it in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you expect a tennis player to do against a dictator propped up by another dictator, both of which control the media in their respective countries, disappear political opponents and harass the families of anybody who doesn’t toe the line? As far as I’m aware she’s never once offered support for Putin or Lukashenko so what are you actually punishing her for? Is every Russian or Belarusian guilty by association of the crimes of the lunatics in charge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belarus openly supports Russia and is essentially a satellite state. I'm against Russia or Russians taking part in any sporting event due to their long history of doping. Have a look at some video of yesterday's game and the physical strength and stature of the Russian. Edited January 28 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Williams sisters were often much bigger and stronger than their opponents, were they on the roids as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
