#41The players are not banned. They just can’t play under their country’s flag.
Kinda like the Olympic teamComment -

Tennis players from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to compete at Wimbledon this year due to Russia's "unjustified" invasion of Ukraine, the All England Club announced Wednesday.Comment -

#45More virtue signaling bs. Really hate these fuckin people. FIFA did the same shit with Russia team for World Cup, essentially kicking them out of the playoffs.
Whoever wins the fukkin crappy plate the girls get should take a dump on it and the guy champ should jerk off on his trophyComment -

#46No one will watch this shitfest. First they banned Djokovic and now they banned the rest of the Eastern Europeans. I guess the tennis people didn't like it when these people were winning all the trophies and they had to help Nadal and the others win again.
That's like the NFL banning Tom Brady from the playoffs because he has too many rings.Comment -

But no one boycotted the Olympics when the US invaded Iraq.
These things are all for show. Wimbledon doesn't give a shit about people dying in wars. If they did they would have banned US players when US invaded Iraq.Comment -

#49Ban em all in sports until Putin is long gone and Russia is not invading Countries that are peaceful and not bothering anyone.
Ukraine did nothing to start this war. Putin just invaded. NOT COOL!! Someone has to pay, ban Russians in sports for now. Isolate them like North Korea is.
Create maximum pain for leadership change.Comment -

#56Ignore the lying, sociopathic mainstream media talking heads. Instead, Zelensky is a globalist stooge, and even though Putin could rightfully be perceived as an autocrat or dictator, he is rightfully reclaiming the Donbas region.
And punishing the Russian athletes, is incredibly stupid and evil.Comment -

This is the point lakerboy. 'These athletes' can't be sitting on two chairs, simultaneously. Either a nice career and a paycheck, or the same passport as the most wanted war criminal of the century.
The procedure is usually straightforward. They can be Ukrainians, Americans or Germans within a few months time.Comment -

#61this story isn't close to ending
saw that the dutchess Kate didn't want to potentially hand over the wimbledon trophy to a russian athlete. Madness
Rublev in an interview offered to donate up to 1 million pounds of his personal prize pool just to play
i'd love to see other country athletes boycott the wimbledon, would add more pressure
I've even see ATP threaten to make wimbledon not worth ranking points which would add even more choisComment -

#64Too bad. The harder all these sanctions and related decisions make it for citizens of these two countries, the more they might bitch to their leaders. Of course, you can't complain about the Russian government if you live there or you get arrested. Sooner or later they'll get rid of Putin.Comment -

#67Half of the mercenaries that are holed up in the Mariupol steel plant are British. They are banning the Russian tennis players so Putin can spare their lives. Some kind of a deal will be made to let the British mercenaries evacuate and the Russian players play in Wimbledon.Comment -

#68Interesting social study:
Those of you who were so indignant about not letting Joker play in the Aussie for not getting a jab we've all seen by now doesn't work, how do you feel about England not letting players (who were simply born in a country that you don't like right now) play in Wimbledon over this invasion? Which one is more serious and/or means more to you?
To me, both parties are wrongComment -

So for me, banning Joker made sense based on rules being in place
Russian players being banned is OUTRAGEOUS and horrible decisionComment -

#70I don't personally agree with the vaccine mandate, but that at least has some sense and logic behind it. It was Australians rules and those rules were laid out months in advanced. Players knew they had to be vaccinated to play and Joker chose not to be vaccinated. Covid beliefs aside, not trying to start drama there
