Do you really think Putin and his government care about Sport? They will just find more ways to by-pass the restrictions that were placed on them. Just look at the Russian Olympic Committee that exploited a loophole that allowed Russian athletes to compete in the Olympics. Roll Eyes

In any way... Putin and his followers have already compared the potential pro's and cons of a war against the Ukrainians and the losses from a few Sport matches are not a huge loss for them. Roll Eyes

The worst thing is that ordinary people suffer from all this. If Russian athletes cannot take part in international competitions, it will be a serious blow to their financial well-being. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them quit sport to feed their families.

Politics is politics. I dont know why they allow politics in sport. Im not Russian or something but you should at least allow sports to be played. They have families aswell that live from sports. Uefa and Fifa always said dont get politics involved in sports and thats just what they did. Hopefully the war stops soon so things can go to normal

This.

I don't remember them banning the US from the olympics when they invaded Iraq for nothing. Why did they kill Saddam again? For having nuclear or chemical warheads... And then we learned he didn't have any.

Right now it is free for all. The west is freely seizing all the Russian property they can. I guess law of the jungle is ruling us once again. Maybe it never left us.

This just only mean that Westerners has a huge influence to the world, and yeah they can actually do whatever they want and the world will follow all because of that influence.

Now, let's go back to the topic.
I have even seen an article about a sports video game removing Russian national teams and players.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10570229/amp/EA-Sports-remove-Russian-national-team-Russian-clubs-FIFA-22.html
The sanctions for Russia has gotten worst and worst every single day.
I'm afraid If people from different countries will attack a person residing if they knew he/she's Russian . That would be the worst thing to happen because of this war.

Glad that someone has compiled all of this stuff because I've been seeing this articles before and I lurk in gambling board and I haven't seen anyone making a thread about it or talking about it. I think that these reactions is justifiable since they're making sure that they're distancing themselves from the conflict which is bad for these organizations images.

They can try to change nationality and participate under different flag. Lot of athletes do that if their country has quota limits for their country.

Whilst this is true, it's also true that there is an overlap between sanctions and sport, and Putin can be damaged by this. I mean, as one example, Abramovich has been forced to sell Chelsea before the government take it away from him... Putin is an autocrat, his power is based not on popular democratic opinion, but on the small circle of elite billionaires who support him. If you damage the oligarchs, you damage Putin's base.

Of course I'm not saying that for example banning Russian Formula One drivers will cause Putin to abandon the war, just that there's an overlap here and he can be damaged by damaging his support.

It will be very difficult for sanctions to be removed once in place as that shows how weak EU and US are if they do so.They,the Russians started the invasion,killed children,committed genocide against humanity among other war crimes like destroying civilians building which are all not allowed in the law of war,they do not care about any of such laws and if that has been the case,the International Court at Hage will start a thorough case against them for such crimes.I doubt EU and US will remove the sanctions easily,they are in place to make all Russia suffer in the long term but I see the effects are already being felt there by everyone.

I don't know if you know it or not, but we (in Russia) are forbidden to call this war a war. Officially, there is no war, and what is happening is called a special operation. Those local media that called it a war have either been closed or are under persecution. Everyone who comes out to protest is arrested for several days (in fact, the period is unknown). Many people who have the opportunity to hastily leave the country. I agree with your assessment that this is for a long time, this is the Iron Curtain 2.0 and in such conditions the ban for athletes is logical - what kind of sport can there be if the entire civilized world breaks all ties with the aggressor country.

Amazing how sports personalities from Russia that are currently IN Russia are expressing their disbelief on what's happening. Voicing out opinions that are against the government's ideals at this time is very hard, considering that the protesters from Day 1 were arrested almost immediately. They are brave enough to tell that something's wrong in the face of a bigger adversary.

It's sad that most sporting events are not including Russia right now on their tourneys and whatnot. The fault of one ruling party affects all that don't even know what's happening.

Any sanctions that are imposed on Russia only cause problems for the general population, which includes athletes. I believe that Russian citizens have long been unable to participate in fair elections and express their positions so this is suppressed by the authorities. The Russian elite has so much money that they can afford to survive on any sanctions, but ordinary people find themselves in a difficult financial situation.

I think the secret hope of the sanctions is also that the brutal economic crisis facing the Russians will lead to some kind of revolution. The only real power that can stop Putin and his regime is his own people. And Russia is so big that the regime cannot capture a revolution if enough people really take to the streets. In addition, in Russia - unlike China - the Internet is still largely free. So far, however, I had the feeling that only a small part, mostly young people in Russia, had rebelled against the regime, and Putin has been able to nip this in the bud.

Just shows that the world doesn't want a war, so almost all sports governing body has united against Russia and it's hard for Russian athlete.

Of course, this will not obviously stop the war, but it shows that war at this day is no longer welcome regardless of what is the reason behind Putin's invasion.

This is a show of solidarity for Ukraine and the highly placed in Russia are part of the target group so that Russia can back down on their military invasion. The football and sports of Russia is going to go down drastically and endorsement deals will be affected because almost all countries in Europe is not supporting Putin and globally, about 140 countries have now voted against the invasion. So it is more isolation for Russia.

The Russian Paralympic team was suspended by the Olympic Committee today. These are the people I really feel sorry for. I feel sorry for all the athletes from Russia in general. Sport should be out of politics. First they suffered because of the doping scandal, now because of the insane leadership of the government. Although I am sure the athletes could have competed under the flags of other countries, but they did not do it. And now they are faced with treachery.

I just read in the news that Paralympic athletes from Russia were suspended from the Olympics. It's just amazing, no words! This is a mockery of the disabled. Where do the organizers of the Paralympic Games have, where is the IOC in charge of at least a drop of normal human morality and humanity?

This is ridiculous and absurd. A lot of people shouted that sports and politics should not be mixed, and now they do by themselves what they were against. I might sound rude, but what should we expect next? Give Ukraine gold medals and first places everywhere because of "support Ukraine"?

I dont understand how this can help to stop the war. Ukraine war: Putin loses World Taekwondo black belt over invasion or Putin also faced discipline from the International Judo Federation. That is fair. Everyone shouts that the war in Ukraine harms innocent people, but now world with sanction harms innocent people also.

The word Russia is turning into Harry Potters The-Word-Which-Must-Not-Be-Pronounced.

this news left me dismayed because sport in general but moreover the Paralympic sport should be inclusive ...
I don't know what the Paralympic athletes are to blame... but by now it is clear that these sanctions shoot in the heap and hardly hit or intimidate those who should ...

Why Paralympic only? why not the whole Russian delegates if this is the case.

Yes, I saw a reaction to the phenomenon in the sports world in Russia, all matches have been cancelled.
• Formula 1 race cancelled.
• The Champions League (UEFA) also suffered the same fate.

Uefa has also criticized what has been done so far to Ukraine, in this action from several private TV stations that I have seen, UEFA has only criticized the Russian government, So, the sports world is still in solidarity with sports athletes, on the other hand UEFA also welcomes Ukrainians and Rusian, especially in the world of sports.

From several sources that I saw the results of the post from @decodx, it can be concluded that the sports world will cancel all matches in Russia, but the football team, Russian GP races can still participate in tournaments held outside Russia.

This reaction, if I think it will have an effect on the Russian Economy from the sports world, the effect on Athletes I don't think so, they are fine, But, Boycott actions, of course you know what happened.

It is natural that the world of sports would react and remove Russia's full scale invasion against Ukraine, I am not an expert about sports but I would like to ask what is the effect of it that they are removed from sports competitions? will they suffer in their economy or just to show that we all don't want to have connections or cut connections to Russia?

Everyone needs peace, and of course we want to live a normal life, without war, FIFA's policies are good, and all investors have also terminated contracts with Russia, even the Chelsea boss suffered tremendous losses, but fifa must also be fair. Don't just block Russia, but other countries must also be blockaded like that, so that they are deterred, if later Israel attacks Palestine again, Israel must also be sanctioned, as well as America, never be picky. justice must be served..
