Yes they should have not denied him his national anthem. He should have sneak up a big russian flag and waved it after the fight. This is sports not politics.
What do you mean denied? How do you know he wanted it? Yes sport not politics , therefore no need for an anthem that represents a country waging war. Bivol says he doesn't support the war so chose not to show anything relating to Russia. He has some class , unlike you
The only thing that blew up in Canelo’s face was Bivol’s solid 1,2 s all night long. fair play to the Russian. It’s not his fault Putin Is a piece of shet.
I I just do not support the vilifying of every russian its just wrong and its a path that we should not go..
You must be new to boxing, you have no idea how A side & B side works. Bivol didn't have to take the fight if the terms weren't good, he could have just said "NO".
Whats that got to do with anything I said? Bivol isn't being vilified by not playing the Russin national anthem. You want him to stand and salute the anthem right now? Get a grip.
He said hes against the war and THAT should be enough in my opinion. But i get it he should consider himself lucky. Russian and belarussian tennis players who oppose the war are not allowed as it stand to play wimbledon. Mazipin got removed from his seat at Formula 1 thats what i mean by vilifiying. But we agree to disagree mate its ok.
Shut your hole. I don't support banning Russian athletes , never said that. I , like most people don't think the Russian anthem should be played and im pretty sure Bivol feels that way too
The bloodshed due to Russian military interventionism is a drop in the ocean compared to that of the leader of the ‘free world’, and I’ve yet to see any comparable ramifications against western athletes for the actions of their governments. So stop pretending like this is about morals, it’s pure politics and shows that everything in the western world is compromised and controlled, they can’t even keep up the facade of impartiality of sports.
It should have been played. The US is more at fault than Russia for the war. I don't think we should ban anthems over the war, but if we're going to, it should be the US's.
It's the US and UK that orchestrated the militarization of Ukraine, drove the hatred of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, and sought regime change in Russia. This is what forced Russia's hand -- to protect their nation and their people. Now the US and UK are demanding Ukraine not surrender no matter how many Ukrainians die. In the vague hope it will damage Russia. Get ****ed, dino.
Youre not wrong. They give money and weapons only under one condition and thats to fight till the last ukrainian. Which is horrific. You dont hear calls for peace or negotiations anymore . If this was just Russia and ukraine i bet they would have found a solution within the first week of the war.
Should the US anthem not have been played at events when the US illegally invaded Iraq? Is it ok not to play the israeli anthem anywhere since they run an apartheid state and terrorize Palestinians?
It’s called reading the room. You don’t walk into a bar of your rival sports team wearing the rivals kit/jersey. As for your vivid history lesson that looks like something picked from a flavour of the day Tweet, go and educate yourself. Pickup a book. Travel the world.
