Australia welcomes the cancellation of the junior world champs and will boycott the short course world champs if they remain in Russia.

 

I really hope the junior world champs can be rescheduled somewhere else.

Many sports events should be cancelled in the first place since the pandemic is still ongoing.

That feels pretty likely as the IOC has ordered all events be moved out of Russia and Belarus.

I'm among those who say the team can do nothing about the war, disqualifying the football team would be too harsh.

Ah fuck no, we are going to get "World Cup is likely to be cancelled" the whole year now, aren't we? Damn Putin, I thought we were done with this now that Tokyo and Beijing Olympics were over  

Listen, Canadian prime minister Erin O'Toole will announce the Canadian team will boycott and that will make everyone else realize that they need to boycott, too, because obviously a world cup without Canada just isn't credible and nobody will take it seriously.
