    Apres! The same companies that ban Russia from competitions put az on their t-shirts. Money doesn’t smell they say, yakhq

  2. Would they allow Israel to become a sponsor, and force all the participants, including any Palestinians to display the name Israel?

    Great move but also very very stupid mistake from the International Ski and Snowboard Federation to allow any country to just display their name on other athletes suits. That seems disrespectful. You can display a company but to allow the display of the word Azerbaijan on an unaffiliated athlete’s suit just shows how disconnected from reality some of these people are and the inability to see how that would be a problem is really mind-boggling. It’s no different than Chelsea sponsoring the Premier league and asking Man utd to wear jerseys wearing the name Chelsea

    Armenia Ski federation should boycott the International Ski and Snowboard Federation and the Armenian Ministry of ESCS should verbally condemn them. But unfortunately we live in a country where they buy azeri oil… the state doesnt guarantee protection anymore for Armenians, so he is all alone on this. I agree with the donations however.
