Russia Sports News:

Of course it is all about money, but those arse holes want you dead... you sure you want to play soccer with them?

Of course Russia and Belarus can't be banned because there is no place in sports for politics...

That is how stupid western audience are... say you don't want to be racist and then say something racist... and everything is fine...

Gotta laugh at the world cup.
In England if you refuse to bend the knee Game of Thrones style, Im sure your career is over.
Likewise if you dont wear a faggot/tranny armband and laces.

But the moment Qatar says to keep politics out of football, the Western faggot media have an Elton John style hissy ****.

Banning Russia from football is as racist as it gets.
The NATO gang are hypocritical, evil cocksuckers.

Twitter news:
Russian football is preparing to leave UEFA and move to the Asian Football Association. The majority of football functionaries are in favour of the final decision, which they promise to announce on December 27th.

Hahahaaha... you can't make this up...

UEFA opposed to potential Russian exit – media

https://www.rt.com/sport/568795-uefa-against-russian-asian-move-reports/

European football governing body UEFA would be against a move by the Russian Football Union (RFU) to join its Asian counterpart, according to a report. A potential switch to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is among the topics for discussion at an RFU executive committee meeting on Friday.

“Despite the current situation, UEFA does not want to lose Russia’s membership in its organization,” Russian outlet Championat reported on Friday, citing a source familiar with the situation.

“UEFA is in favor of a variant in which, after the tension of the geopolitical situation is reduced, Russian football will begin to integrate into European football again.

“For UEFA, the loss of such a country will be a big reputational blow, even under the current situation,” added the report.

If they switch to the Asian league there will still be Australia and Japan and South Korea that might object and refuse to play them, but that is still better than the European league where more than half the teams refuse.

They talk about joining the Asian league so they could qualify for the 2026 Soccer world cup but that is being held in Canada and the US and Mexico so odds are they will be banned anyway, but at least they will be playing games which they wont do as part of the European league.

Playing games at least keeps interest in the sport and money coming in and the Russians will have better chances for doing rather better in that region, though of course they will lose many or most of their European players... but that will likely just save money and create space for Russian talent.

This move is less about the national team, the local teams (CSKA, Zenith and so on) will be able to join the asian Champions League.
UEFA will loose a lot of money from that change. 

BRICS sports being organised for 2024.

IOC not happy it seems.

'Russian flag cannot be at Paris Olympics,' Macron says, 09.07.2023.

"Russia as a country has no place at a time when it has committed war crimes," he said.

In an interview with French sports newspaper L'Équipe, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the Russian flag should not be allowed at the Paris-2024 Olympic Games due to accusations of "war crimes" committed by Russia in the conflict with Ukraine.

"Obviously the Russian flag cannot be at the Paris Games, I believe this generates a consensus,” he said. "Russia as a country has no place at a time when it has committed war crimes and is deporting children," he said.

Macron also took a position on the possible participation of Russian athletes competing individually, stating that the decision should be made by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and not by the host state.

"I want it to be a decision in the conscience of the Olympic world..."It is not up to the host state to decide what the IOC [International Olympic Committee] should do," Macron said on Wednesday. "I have full confidence in [IOC President] Thomas Bach," he said later.

"The Olympic world will have to decide what place to give to Russian athletes who have sometimes prepared themselves all their lives and who can also be victims of this regime.”

After his failed attempt to break through the BRICS meeting, Manu has become more than ever the laughing stock and the scoff at the world community.

London held the games while Lil´ Britain committed war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq...

Russia needs to stop all ties with the west until they grow up.

kvs wrote:Macron can go and fly the rainbow degenerate flag.   Russia should boycott the IOC and its clown events.

Well, Macron just said he dislike Russian flag but didn't mention any other flags, right ?

Then we just have to wave USSR flag or communist hammer and sickle flag. Well, it is clear Macron didn't mention anything about this !

Flags for all kind of people. 

It seems that if Russian athletes want to compete in western sports events under a white flag and with no Russian anthem then they will need to fund the trip for themselves...

The real question is how can they justify targeting only Russia... Georgia attacked and killed Russian peace keepers in South Ossetia during the opening ceremony of the olympic games, while the Russian attack started between the olympics and the para olympics, yet neither Georgia nor South Ossetia nor Russia was banned from sport.

The US occupation of Syria continues and it was in Afghanistan for 20 years, the IOC said nothing about it.

Very pleased Russia is finally standing up for itself.

Why pay if you can't play?

Is there an independent country that will pay for independent athletes to not represent any country?

I don't think Russia should fund athletes who want to run as independent athletes with no flag and no anthem and no country.

What Russia does need to do is organise sports event where Russian athletes can compete as Russian athletes without having to sign political statements supporting nazi causes.

There was a BRICS games made up of really strange games that are local to each of the BRICS countries... imagine a team event where you have a group of athletes who you can pick from to play 20 different sports that are not played internationally at the moment. Obscure games that no one else plays, but are competitive sports.

Obviously the locals will have an advantage but it is often better for sports events where one country can't just spend billions and dominate everything... that is just so boring and so against the idea of international sport.

As mentioned in the video KVS posted the current IOC chairman is breaking all the rules that the Olympics was founded on... politics free participation.

Russia and China have money to hold amazing sporting events and should do so and encourage other BRICS countries and prospective BRICS countries to join in.

The west is about imposing US culture on everyone else, BRICS should be about enjoying the cultures of other countries... you don't have to adopt it for yourself, but try it and understand it.

Respect local culture and adapt to fit in when you are there... and they will do the same when they come to your country.

The IOC continued to mock Russian sports, by Maxim Domchev for Rossiyskaia Gazeta. 12.08.2023.

The sudden decision of the International Olympic Committee on the admission of Russian athletes to the Olympic Games in Paris should not cause any illusions - the organization continued the policy of Russophobia and discrimination.

Most recently, the IOC announced that the final decision on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the 2024 Games in Paris will be announced no earlier than next spring.

But on Friday he suddenly announced his decision - to allow those athletes who had already passed the Olympic qualification to compete. Naturally, as individual neutral athletes, that is, without a flag and anthem, with an incomprehensible abbreviation AIN. The IOC can only prohibit athletes from speaking Russian among themselves. And it is very symbolic that the organization announced its decision on the day when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to run for a new term.

The IOC also reported that at the moment, 11 athletes who have already fulfilled the qualification conditions can receive the right to compete. 8 of them represent Russia, 3 - Belarus. At the same time, the IOC hastened to add that there will definitely not be a large number of Russians in Paris. In the remaining time, a "very limited number of athletes" will qualify.

But this will not be the end of the IOC’s bullying. Those who are able to qualify have yet to prove that they can be neutral athletes, have no connection with CSKA or Dynamo and have not publicly spoken out in support of their country since the events in Ukraine began. Well, in order to definitely get to the start in Paris, they will have to sign updated conditions for participation in the Olympics. What content this paper will have is still unknown, but even here we should expect a trick from the IOC.

Friday's decision by the IOC is discriminatory and Russophobic. After all, the vast majority of leading Russian athletes have still not been given permission to participate in tournaments and have a chance to compete at the Games. And the IOC covers up all its affairs by mentioning the Olympic Charter, which it itself repeatedly violates. And Friday's decision looks like a pathetic attempt at a handout.

Moreover, given the fact that the IOC had previously temporarily suspended the Russian Olympic Committee. The head of the organization, Thomas Bach, regularly talks about how sport should be outside of politics, that sport should unite. Against this background, the IOC is already putting pressure on countries that want to take part in the World Friendship Games in Russia, and another openly anti-Russian organization - the World Anti-Doping Agency - is threatening sanctions.

The Olympic movement in its current form is experiencing a serious crisis. Nothing remained of the ideals of Baron Coubertin. The IOC has become a platform for anti-Russian attacks and has lost its authority, it seems, irrevocably. It seems that the head of the Russian Olympic Committee, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, is right when he called Bach’s department exponents of other people’s ideas, and, undoubtedly, by removing the Russians, the once most influential sports structure in the world is only making things worse for itself.

I would say Russia and Belarus need to turn their backs to the IOC and sort out free fair open sports events independently of the west.

There are plenty of countries around the world who want free open and fair games in countries other than the west all the time... it could be the BRICS games... or it could be something else.

Would be nice to see some alternative sports being played instead of the usual boring games popular in the west.
