I agree, but I do think Putin will use anything to put down the British at the moment. Putin wants more power and the suspicion of him authorizing the attack on Sergei Skripal & his daughter won't help!

No. Sport should not be mixed with politics.

Well that's always a good reason to stay home! But why should the players have to suffer because of politics?

My heart bleeds for those poor suffering footballers !
They will be delighted not to have to train in Summer and will retire to their various Carribean mansions and play with their millionaires toys .

WHY

This was done by a few countries led by America when the Soviets held the games in 1980 the Russians were the first to try to stop the rise of islamist extremist in Afghanistan after the rising in Iran

The Americans led the boycotte but made the Yanks look stupid.

the Americans banned their athletes from competing and they are supposed to be the land of the free.

And you want the same ban on any football fans going there.

You and UJ should get married
