Tennis has same issue; most pros believe players shouldn't be punished simply because of where they happened to be born. Classic discrimination.

Most Russian tennis players openly speak for peace, so trying to be part of the solution. None are allowed to openly support the war, so it's winning strategy.

Well done to the chap. If people are persecuted just due to their nationality it’s racism, plain and simple. People who advocate this should take a long look in the mirror and assess their moral compass.
