orangeman 1,434 Posted February 25, 2018 #703 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good game, OAR. Congratulations! Congratulations to Germany as well. Frankly, I'm just upset no one made a Stalingrad comment during the overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me saying Russia is easier than OAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me saying Russia is easier than OAR Exactly, same for BBC. Even in an individual sport, why would you not say someone simply is a Russian? Like it or not, it's a fact that they compete under a neutral flag, but it's also a fact that a Russian athlete is a Russian person, and so, a Russian. Why not simply call him/her a Russian? Even in this case you could call them 'the Russian team', because it's a team, and they're Russian --> a Russian team Griff88, thepharoah, Ros and 1 other 4 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
