Sometimes we do the right things at the wrong time.

Emeskhalifa:
How many Nigerians can do this for Nigeria?

Bunch of Saboteurs and betrayals full this country, from the youths to even the Ancestors.

No atom of love for the country at all and we expect positive changes in all sectors?

What has Nigeria given to you? These people are giving back to a country that first gave to them.


Nigeria is not yet a country.

Brave boy,true son of his father,Putin the tormentor of the west

maticar:

Yea a German can as well wear the Nazi swastika on the podium

At the rate at which sports organization are going by mixing Politics with Sports, A German might as well do that and will successfully defend himself in court using the precedence they've set as a means to defend himself.

Those idiots just opened Pandora's box out of emotion without carefully thinking about the consequence in future

CoronaVirusPro:
Only Vodka company’s will give her endorsements

Def sure she not expecting anything from Nike, Puma, Adidas or Reebok


Face of terrorism!

I see a Hero. Did you say vodka? That guy might be made already. Oligarchs can decide to give him what Messi and Ronaldo combined have never seen in endorsement. Then he will drink vodka to celebrate it. Be calming down

So only the west can miss politics with sports

Psalmistproject:
She lacks sense. Olympic is first about you, then your country. If it's about your country then don't bother participating stay in your country and reign supreme.
You want to delve into issues bigger than you and can affect your shine. What you need is sympathy not justification.

Yen yen yen, abeg shift. If na Ukrainian do that you'll all be calling him a Hero. That Russian athlete is a hero. He's a bigger celebrity back home right now. I'm certain of that.

Finally it's racists killing racists

Let him be stripped of the third class medal.

That's the best timing ever. Do you know how many billionaires are there in Russia? He's made for life, Putin will make sure he won't need money ever again in his life.

Then u remain banned, one thing I know is that murderers will get support from fellow murderer, this Russia war have opened my mind to biblical truth ,whenever I read that majority of Jews pleaded for a murderer banabas to be released and jesus christ should be crucified, I keep thinking how could this be,but seeing the number of people in this forum supporting a mass murderer putin ,I now believe it is possible for people to choose a murderer over a just man..but one thing is sure putin will never escape the wrath of God even if he escape human justice system..killing human beings in whatever guise is abomination before the creator of humanity

Have you said this about past American Presidents like George Bush, Donald Regan and Bill Clinton that killed millions of people in the Middle East, North America and Asia

Kuliak stood on the podium next to Ukrainian rival Illia Kovtun, who won the gold

They should also start bullying the US athletes whenever their country went to invade other countries you can’t be criticizing Russia and pay def ears to all atrocities committed by the US and NATO in the Middle East that’s hypocrisy, young man stood firm and represent his country, if the Z too pain una make una use Y mumu people bringing politics into sport games

True but when your ancestors did not put together your country or your identity of course only shyt go dey everywhere as in SHythole country

MrBrownJay1:
he is Russian and will stand proudly for his country (whether good or bad)... isnt it the same done all around the world?!?

Point of correction, no matter how bad a system is, it will still have it's own supporters even if the whole nation is against it. The guy is just one of the very few supporters of the bad decisions of Putin. Many Russians do not support him and protested against it but were arrested. The bolded is therefore very wrong.

I admire his strong mentality. He is truly a Russian ! Hypocrisy at its best;Ukrainian athletes could openly support their country but Russians couldn't !

My idea may be radical but its true, let every country that wish to have nuke, have it. If Ukraine has nuke Russia won't invade them, and the reason why USA and NATO are busy beating about the bush with Russia is because Russia has nuke. That is why russia is blowing Ukraine while her citizen (Russia) are clubing in Moscow.

Everything isn't about money. He enjoys what he does, if he is banned for this act of insensitivity, it's gonna be a huge blow for him, in the future.

Bellerophon:
Another evidence of why the Russian belligerents have no moral locus standi as sports is one of the few tools through which humanity propagates peace, acceptance and collectiveness through participation in good faith and sport in tournaments and it’s neutrality never to be compromised ! Propaganda is a poison that fiends have no restriction over its deployment, they will peddle their falsehoods in the most sacred and purest places, they will besmirch innocence for an opportunity to sell their lies, even the neutrality of sports their desperation for legitimacy will not spare!

Symbols and visuals are their most infamous tools in their optical deception, like Hitler’s Swastika so also is Putin’s “Z” ! They appeal to our sentiments as children for mothers and quickly clothe their ambition in the cloth of a wailing mother like Mother Russia like Mother Germany! If only Putin knew how many here in nairaland are ready to take up arms for him, he will be sending a Russian military jet to Nigeria to evacuate his nairaland mercenaries!

the Ukrainian started it ist see why sports Bodies should stand neutral is cos of issues like this

Nice one.

When they started Mixing activism with Sports , it was only a matter of time before real political issues like this Ukraine saga starts creeping in. Because sometimes, activism and Politics are separated by a very thin line. You won't know when you'll start to mix the two when you're not careful.

Now in present day sports, it seems that thin line has been cut, and both are now mixing now.

Very soon in the future, sporting organizations will start splitting and having factions who align with different political ideology because some people will feel marginalized and start their own thing separately.

ValCon888:
They wanted to country-shame him, but the young man stood his ground.
It's hypocrisy if he's not allowed to wear his symbol.

They brought politics into sports, so what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

Shameless post. You said they brought politics into sports. Ask yourself this question. If the location where the sporting event is being held is being besieged in a war-like situation, would the event still hold? Would the Russian athlete be able to represent Russia? Moreso, Russia is enjoying peace at the moment and sporting activities can actually take place. Their football league is still being played. Can the same be said of Ukraine whose people Russia has denied of peace. I swear you do not want to be denied of your peace. Do you?

tomiwakeem:
Yet some people argue that the Russian people are not supporting Putin.
His people are obviously behind him

You forgot that there were protests in Russia where thousands of people were arrested. Or do you think Buhari's government won't still have it's own supporters even if Nigeria condition is worse than this?

A) the whole Russian nation isnt against Putin
B) putin has always had people against him.... but the majority support him.
C) many people fully understand why Putin went to war, and support it fully.
D) what country in the world wouldnt do what he did if faced with the same dilemma??!? do you remember what was the reaction of the US when Russia wanted to `put a military base in Cuba?! you can bet that the US would have invaded uba if they had concrete plans on going through with it.

Good for him..... Long live putin

Nice
