It is sad, but we can't blame the people entirely. They've had false choices, rigged elections and a hijacked republic that functions more as a corporatocracy for most of that time. That tree of liberty is thirsty.
I've been hearing about Russian art being cancelled, but we can all dig up an old copy of Tolstoy or listen to some Stravinsky whenever. No intermediary is necessary. But this canceling of artistic performers and athletes who have honed a craft or trained a sport and have a very small window to be at their peak is despicable. It feels like a perverse continuation of the covid crap: you don't get to be on stage..you don't get to be on the court...too bad, so sad, it's for the greater good. I hate these people.
Anna Netrebko and conductor Valery Gergiev. Really? These are major talents who have graced the stage (and pit) of the Met. Music knows no boundaries or borders. They brought joy to countless many and mega-money to the Met coffers The hypocrisy and naked, childish virtue signaling is stunning.
Tennis players banned for their nationality and private medical decisions, how civilized. Pearl clutching is the last gasp of British and American empires.
It isn't only sports. European scientist friends of mine recently told me that they've been forced by their respective countries to cease collaborating with Russian colleagues.
Time was, science was recognized as orthogonal to geopolitics. Scientific collaboration continued across the Iron Curtain throughout the Cold War. Not only is basic research of no importance to power politics, allowing such collaboration provides crucial points of contact that keep the lines of communication open.
Now, however, everything must be subordinated to political expediency.
And all the top seeds will throw down their racquets in utter disgust, and in solidarity with their Russian tennis colleagues will refuse to attend Wimbledon. After all, these noble racqueteers offered the same honourable response when their Serbian colleague Novak Djokovic was banned from tournaments because he refuses the hcksvxxxxs. Right? They did do that. Right?? Oh yes, I quite forgot. And this is why I refuse ever to watch a tennis tournament unless the #1 player in the world, Novak D, has received an invite. And now the list groweth.
I want the US to be racist to non whites. communists are not racists to whites, they want to loot them then kill them. US govt controlled by jews that hate christians -since they forced the Roman to nail Jesus to a cross- who in the US are mostly white. so it is not racism. showing a jew a cross is the same as showing it to a vampire
The Romans were quite keen on crosses in that period, they didn't need any Jewish help. There are reports for example of crosses, with people hanging from them, lining the length of Appian Way.
I used to tell my kids that the only thing they can get right on the TV news is sports results and weather (as in current conditions, not the forecast); everything else is lies. But now if they report that Rafael Nadal won the Australian Open and leads in Major singles titles, without an asterisk and explanation of who was banned, it's a lie of omission. Put an asterisk on the Aussie Open and Wimbledon!
Shame on Wimbledon, the people of Russia have no control over what their government does. Just as I as a US citizen don't have control over all the US bombs dropped and countries the US invades.

Stuffiest of the majors. Still demand βwhitesβ if not mistaken. Someone has to keep the illusion of the sun never setting Empire. Of course they wonβt mention their world-wide stranglehold via The City of London.
Wondering whatβs going to happen in the province of Canada re hockey?
Virtue signaling know no boundaries. The legerdemain of righteousness.
When you were referring to a syphilitic dictator. Biden was the first one to come to my mind, Obviously syphilis has gone to his brain. Maybe from bonking the kid's babysitter. Funny the double standard in allowing athletes to compete. But, then again the U.S. has always been hypocritical. Good article!! Linking tomorrow as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Itβs embarrassing and sad as an American to read all the atrocities perpetrated over the past 50 years.

Great.

Hate them, or pity them, because there will much weeping and gnashing, sooner or later.

Racism/apartheid from the aholes that cry about it
I wish the US was racist but they are not. they are white hating communists
So not racist for being 'white hating'? Is there a new definition of 'racist' about?
I want the US to be racist to non whites. communists are not racists to whites, they want to loot them then kill them. US govt controlled by jews that hate christians -since they forced the Roman to nail Jesus to a cross- who in the US are mostly white. so it is not racism. showing a jew a cross is the same as showing it to a vampire

I see that your handle is a reference to the siege of Jerusalem.
I figure you're some sort of cartoon character.

We have met the enemy and he is us.
Pogo
I remember that cartoon.
Great roundup of our hypocrisy. As John Carter points out it's in other fields as well, just not as visible as sports.
A huge solar flare should fix it.

And while Wimbeldon is ousting the damnable Russians, this may be the fate of an on street foreign reporter:
