They gave the OK to the killers of the disabled to compete in the Olympics. First they shot people, and then they became disabled because of drones. Now they will compete for prizes. The Olympic Committee has gone crazy.
These are the bloodiest Olympics.
Just don’t watch, or go to any Olympics thing.
Kind of unfair since Ruzzia is rapidly expanding its paralympic teams for over 4 years now
Meh, I’m of the opinion that if you aren’t going to ban everyone that deserves banning then don’t bother at all. Banning just Russia is purely performative so long as Israel, Iran, China or Nigeria are allowed to compete.

Fuck me, their pool of the potential team has expanded by over a million in the last 4 years. Was the whole war about boosting their other team that wasn’t banned? Who knows? Send money to Ukraine – the Great Wall of Democracy.
Well, kind of hard to hold to hypocrisy while people commitng genocide on a live stream are there as well.
But the Ukrainian athlete was offensive with his helmet.
What a fucking joke.
Why, did the pedo intervene?
Another reason not to watch
Gross. Not watching.
FCK disgusting they lift the van while still in war.
I hope nobody of other countries will participate.
The only way is to keep pressing Russia on all fronts.
You can say they are victims but that’s not how that works. People will turn against Russia if everything is takes away and this we all know works slowly. The companies are crumbling and it’s getting harder and harder for them.
This is really not the right signal.
So FCK paralympic government.
Time to send the idiots who made this decision to live in Ukraine for a while, so they get to experience russian world for themselves.
Italian government shouldn’t let them in the country
Ok. Clearly not watching these
It was to be expected that slowly Russia would be included in sporting competitions around the world. In the capitalist world we live in, a market of 100M+ is too sweet to pass on for long. It’s sad but it’s reality
Everybody else should do their own Olympics, with a different governing body
Most of these Ruzzian competitors will be ex terrorists and murderers who were killing people in Ukraine.
Better allow Russia and Belarus instead of having the ban Israel debate
Ancient Greece: Olympic Truce
Modern West: Warmongering welcome!
Simple rule: If Israel is not banned then Russia should not be banned. Both countries are flagrantly breaking international law and purposefully causing civilian suffering. The West cannot condemn Russia and sanction it while at the same time supporting Israel by giving it money, weapons, and doing business with Israel as if a genocide is not happening. Either both countries get sanctioned or neither of them do.
