Ukraine is game to you?

Pretty interesting. Debris from Russian cruise missiles have been dissected and they've figured out some new tech Russia added to avoid anti-missile tech.

Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, the top-ranked male tennis player in the world, is the No. 1 seed at the big Indian Wells tournament set to finish this weekend.

Should he still be playing while his country is invading Ukraine?

Russia’s Alex Ovechkin is one of the most gifted hockey players the world has seen. And oh, by the way, he’s a longtime supporter of President Vladimir V. Putin. Should Ovechkin still be scoring goals for the N.H.L.’s Washington Capitals?

Should any Russian nationals be allowed on the sports world stage right now?

In an effort to condemn sports-loving Putin and further isolate his nation, the sports world reacted with remarkable swiftness as the war in Ukraine began. We’ve seen Russia barred from World Cup qualifiers in soccer and its basketball teams cut from international play. Tennis called off its Moscow tournament, and Formula 1 ended ties with the Russian Grand Prix.

Even the normally tentative International Olympic Committee got in the mix by recommending athletes from Russia and Belarus, which has supported the invasion, be barred from sports events, and the Paralympics after some wavering did just that.


What's the thought here? Do we let the Russians compete or ban their ass from all athletic competition?

I advocated for sending all the hockey players home weeks ago. Any Caps fan wearing a sweater with Ovechkin on the back needs to take a long look in the mirror.

If you go to a Canes game, tons of folks have Andrei Svechnikov jerseys. Are they in the wrong? Is Ovechkin different because of his public ties to Putin?
 
Better yet, arrest one of them for reckless driving and do a prisoner exchange for the three Americans currently in Russian custody.
 
They're all welcome to defect to the US any day of the week and have been for years.

What? Yes?! Ovechkin is arguably the most culturally famous Putin supporter in the US, maybe worldwide.
 
The volume of information that trump does not understand is incredible. Don't forget that when you ask yourself why you voted for him.
