This is not about speed skating.
It's about saying Fuck No.
How can you have a friendly sports competition in a country where people JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE can GET THE SHIT BEATEN OUT OF THEM FOR BEING WHO THEY ARE where THE THUGS GET PRAISED AND NOT SENT TO JAIL?
Baffled why this is even a question.
No. No. No.
This is not "politics."
This is "we will not negotiate with thugs."
NO RUSSIAN OLYMPICS.
MOTHERFUCKER.
