FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russian Football teams.

The war makes no sense, hurts both people I agree and its only going to benefit a few for money reasons is the main incentive I think.   Money and power and the only way to try and prevent further deaths and a war lasting years is constant discouragement which means these people in sport are losing out but its not without reason they make a sacrifice that in some small part contributes to the pressure to stop this pointless war.  I hope this occurs soon, its a loss for all at present.

Russia made a completely unjustified invasion of a sovereign country like Ukraine on baseless accusations,it is only normal that they will be a completely isolated state and isolated not only from sport but from economy,technology and everything else.

OK.. agreed. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not justified and they need to be punished for their actions. But now please tell me what sort of actions were taken against the United States, after they invaded almost a dozen sovereign nations (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya.etc) during the last two decades? Perhaps these invasions are "good" invasions and only the Russian invasions are "bad"? The law needs to be equal for everyone and we will be making a mistake if we give different treatment for different sides doing the same thing.

Isn't your question an obvious offtopic and whataboutism? In addition, maybe you will remind what territories the United States captured during these wars? While Russia is constantly stealing everything it can from its neighbors - Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine. The fact that the world is not isolating itself from the US is probably a sign that it agrees with their actions (and you forget that in most of these wars the US had many allies who fought alongside them).

Only the Iraq invasion was wrong and the US apologized for it although that means nothing after many innocent civilians were killed.The difference with Russia though is that US was only there to find the chemical weapons and once they didn't find them they immediately withdrew their troops,not claiming any territory of the country.They tried their best to not kill 5 months old babies like Russia is doing on a daily basis and they did not shoot down entire cities to ashes like Russia is doing.It is clear who the terrorist country is who live in their absurd reality,only Russia and it is normal to ban every single Russian,athlete,team,singer,actor and any person of any category to take place in International competitions.

It is difficult to go against the current, when there is an almost "World" government where other countries are complicit in its actions, it is very difficult and it is obvious that there are always political systems and they have a great influence regardless of where they come from. , if you are against them then you have no choice, as I said before I am against any war, but it is remarkable to think that the athletes did not ask their opinion about the invasion because I am sure that their response would be a resounding No, the mistake is to think that the sanctions are going to hurt the rulers, because the sanctions are received by people who have nothing to do with it, so until that is understood it will be very difficult for the world to be different.

Let FIFA and UEFA move their headquarters into Russia, and see if anything changes.

You don't need to be popular in the eyes of the world to hold a competition. Russia has all kinds of sports going on within its borders. The only reason we might not know about it is that the media is simply against Russia, right now, and won't show it.

Russians are also suffering from what they did and what they are doing, a lot of countries and organizations has banned Russia from from having affairs with them. Because of the war they are fighting against Ukraine. The funniest part is that Russians are not ready to put a stop to the war despite what they are losing day by day. Russians would face a lot of difficulties when they try to go out or have business with other country, because almost everyone has seen them as bad side.

[BADecker]

Banning Russia from international sports competition doesn't really mean anything. Why not? Russia is in international sports competition with the war. Why would they even want to play games?
