Blames America for making Russia invade Ukraine and kill everyone.
Yes and yes, kinda. The allies could have taken the Union's approach to rebuilding, but instead chose a more punitive path that resulted in an outcome worse than anyone imagined. And did the Biden Administration deliberately provoke the Russians in order to start a war that would distract from all of Biden's personal and policy failings here at home?? You'd have to actually understand how the hard left operated in various countries over the last hundred years to arrive at a yes.
Yes, the blame-America-first bit makes so much sense now. Germans couldn't help building death camps and killing 6 million Jews. What choice did they have after WW1?
I understand better now how Russia's action in Mariupol are beyond their control. That scumbag Biden coerced the Russians into things that never wanted to do.
She was also doped (legally then illegally) by her Russian doctor for a decade. Maybe not the greatest example to use.
It is a great example . She was invited by the First Lady to discuss one of her initiatives . Maria Sharapova has nothing to do with the American caused Ukraine situation.
I'd think every single Russian should be banned from every single thing outside the border of Russia. Shouldn't they?
Russia has totally blew it with the way they are dealing with Ukraine, they are showing the world the monsters that they are so the hell with tennis or anything else for these people.
This kind of behavior can not be tolerated, so the best the sane world can do is shun Russia because they do not belong around the rest of us.
I will confess I had no idea they were such bad fighters, what a joke their army is.

Biden and Exxon are currently working hand and hand with the Taliban on new construction routes for American oil workers in the Middle East. Biden and America now realize the Taliban are a group of trustworthy guys 😃 The morality scale in America is very flexible .
Punishing anything and everyone Russian is overly punitive. The Union specifically decided against that course against the South at the end of the Civil War. Thus, healing was faster. Whereas after WWI, Germany was savagely punished long after the war and, well, we know how that turned out. I thought it was accepted wisdom that not every member of a group is exactly the same.
The irony is that most of the posters claiming this is a good thing are 'liberals'. Ask them about the internment of Japanese in WW2 when the Japanese army looked set to conquer the USA and enslave, rape, or kill every man, woman, and child, and they'd go into fits of rage at the injustice caused by white patriarchy towards innocent Japanese Americans. Maybe burn the Stars and Stripes while apologizing for slavery 200 years ago and screaming BLM, meanwhile hoping that there will be another huge Islamist atrocity soon so they can go on Twitter and virtue signal about the inevitable horrors of Islamaphobia.

Does anyone understand this gibberish? I'm good at deciphering the points of idiots, but this one is all over the place. And he's responding to an idiot post he probably didn't understand to begin with.
All Russian citizens who attempt to enter any athletic competition using their Russian passport should be ineligible for competition. If they are a holder of a non-Russian passport then they should be allowed to compete. This also applies to all Russian officials, coaches, and trainers.

She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Billy Jean King: “One of the guiding principles of the founding of the WTA was that any girl in the world, if she was good enough, would have a place to compete. I stood by that in 1973 and I stand by that today.
“I cannot support the banning of individual athletes from any tournament, simply because of their nationality. Tennis is stronger when we stand together, and our continued support of the Tennis Plays for Peace initiative, which provides meaningful financial support and resources to Ukraine, needs to be our focus.”
Invite Zelensky to Wimbledon and let the Russians play. Arrange for the Russian players to meet with Zelensky to discuss how they help ending Russia’s murderous rampage through Ukrainian. Hold the Russians accountable for their country’s actions.
Double the prize purse and require the players to donate half their winnings to Ukraine. Invite Zelensky to receive the donations in person. See the Russians true colors then.
Invite the Russian players but invite Putin to chaperone them, and promote the tournament as a tournament for peace and goodwill between all countries. See if they still want to come and do something positive towards world peace.

Ukrainians are not much better, and they proved it themselves in WW2 against the Jews and Poles (and earlier), and their very real NAZI Azov brigade committed atrocities in the Donbas.
Not saying that the Russians aren't animals who ought to be ostracized from the civilized world for a couple of generations, but this is basically a civil war between the savage ethnic group the Rus Slavs, and it happens that Russia is many times bigger and more powerful than the Ukraine, hence one vicious boot is on the other.
There is more difference between Irish and Scots than there is between Russians and Ukrainians. Oh, and those countries that have let in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees, prepare for your (violent) crime rate to go through the roof in 3 to 6 months time.

The massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia (Polish: rzeź wołyńska, lit. 'Volhynian slaughter'; Ukrainian: Волинська трагедія, romanized: Volynska trahediia, lit. 'Volyn tragedy'), were carried out in German-occupied Poland by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or the UPA, with the support of parts of the local Ukrainian population against the Polish minority in Volhynia, Eastern Galicia, parts of Polesia and Lublin region from 1943 to 1945.[4] The peak of the massacres took place in July and August 1943. Most of the victims were women and children.[5] Many of the Polish victims regardless of age or gender were tortured before being killed; some of the methods included rape, dismemberment or immolation, among others.[6] The UPA's actions resulted in between 50,000[1] and 100,000 deaths.
Attacks on Poles during the massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia were marked with extreme sadism and brutality. Rape, torture and mutilation were commonplace. Poles were burned alive, flayed, impaled, crucified, disembowelled, dismembered and beheaded. Women were gang raped and had their breasts sliced off, children were hacked to pieces with axes, babies were impaled on bayonets and pitchforks or bashed against trees. The atrocities were carried out indiscriminately and without restraint. The victims, regardless of their age or gender, were routinely tortured to death.
Ukrainians are not the innocent victims of history. (the Poles definitely are though).
Good! Russian people need to take more responsibility for what their country is doing. They need to be excluded from all world affairs until they quit their war in Ukrainian and pay massive reparations to rebuild Ukraine.
Yeah and Russians are a bunch of steroid using cheaters in the powerlifting community. Almost every single Russian powerlifter on instagram that's popular is on steroids.
Due to the war in Ukraine, international sports federations have excluded Russian athletes from numerous sporting events. International competitions for Russia have been canceled one after another.
- At the moment, sports are over in Russia. That was already clear when the war began. I don’t understand how sports can develop from this in Russia, Litvinov says.

LOL! I couldn't decide whether to 'upvote' or 'downvote' that thing. Have no idea what he was trying to say ... was it 'anti-liberal' or 'anti-conservative'?!
No Russian should be able to partake in any civilized engagement, sports or otherwise, until they stop their Warlord leader. The people of Russia are in charge of russia, not putin.
Because of this it is the people of russia, all of them, that are fighting a war with the ukraine. Until the Russian people, including the tennis players, stop this illegal war they should be punished harshly and have asset seized and their life stop being what it used to be.
