Maybe ban Russia from the Olympics? Totally, none of this Russian Olympic committee bullshit.
Sure if we ban israel from the Olympics too.
Sounds like a win win to me
Yeah I'm down.
I wonder if the reason Greek stopped conflict during the Olympics was because everyone kept banning eachother.
Yeah, any moment now ...
Sounds a lot like US House of Representatives, but in this case I don’t see why not.
Maybe ban Russia from the Olympics?
They're already banned from the Olympics. Their athletes compete under the "Olympic Athletes from Russia" banner and represented by the Olympic Flag.
I think that's what OP is referring to.
That gets tricky, because there are a number of other Russian nationals competing under different national banners.
Israel has welcomed the highest number of athletes, with 25 former Russian athletes now competing under the Israeli flag. Serbia followed closely with 19 athletes, while Germany and France attracted 13 and 12 athletes respectively.
Would all these athletes also become banned?
That will teach them 😎
