The idea that sport, or any other aspect of society, is somehow isolated from politics is ridiculous. Everything is political, and encouraging people to avoid it and not think about difficult topics is not exactly conducive to a democratic society.
The article also seems to suggest that certain types of movies should also avoid addressing political topics, which is just a bizarre take.

Funny how Russian National team can’t compete but Israel can hahahaha if they are allowed we should also be
Apples and oranges
Is it though? Israel is allowed to defend itself against Hamas. No doubt about that. However, they perpetuate the climate in which groups like Hamas thrive. You can’t put people on a small strip of land which is basically an open air prison and be surprised when groups like Hamas start to get into power.
You can remove Hamas or an adjacent group but as long as you keep those very same circumstances in place a new group will rise.
