Wimbledon Contamination

It's disgusting that barbarians have been allowed to play at Wimbledon this year. They should be sent back to their benighted country and told to stay there.

Despite my great love for Wimbledon I will not be watching any matches that include a barbarian.

Did you watch your precious Wimbledon last year? Russian players were allowed to play then too. The ban on Russian and Belarusian tennis players was not widely supported, and a number of very successful and prominent players have condemned it since it was introduced. It was the British government, not the AELTC, who wanted a ban. Its lack of popularity and the very clear neutrality of Russian tennis players are why it was dispensed with. Most of these individuals have not lived in Russia for a long time. One of the females playing at Wimbledon lives in Spain, and another lives in Italy. Some live in Kazakhstan. One of them has grandparents from Ukraine and resides in Miami! There are several Russian and Belarusian players who live in USA. Daniil Medvedev lives in Monaco! Another named Karen Khachanov lives in Dubai!

I will not be watching any matches that include a barbarian.

You will not be watching a match that includes one of the many Russian players who have trained for most of their lives, who are not fighting in the army or advocating Russian interests, and who with the exception of two players do not live in Russia?

Racist fool.

@SW-User 'russophobia' would be fear of russia.

Nobody fears russia... they have become an international joke.

Perhaps we need a word for despising russia? Bucha, perhaps, or Lyman, or Mariupol, or...?

@SW-User I take it you're a big supporter of russia's invasion of the sovereign democracy of Ukraine... or are you just trying to earn this week's potato?

@emiliya This post is a great example of why its overly simplistic to paint any group of people with a broad brush. Ernie
