I don't necessarily disagree with you, man but I can see TopToon's point, too.

The point behind the bans is in part, to my mind, to make Russia such a pariah that ordinary folk there have their eyes opened to what's going on or, at the very least, begin to question it-if the entire world (ish) is against us, maybe that tells us something'? Plus, Russians competing-and being feted if they win-would be pretty hard to take for Ukranians. And, if sport is an exception, what about, say, privately owned businesses-it's not their fault so should they be allowed to trade? And so it could go on, potentially eroding-to a point- the West's stand against Russia.

On the other hand, maybe there's a case for letting athletes perform under a neutral flag? I don't know. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

it's definitely an interesting debate.

But you don't need to go round calling folk thick as fuck because they don't agree with you.
