This is relevant, because their main point guard, Thomas Heurtel is linked to Zenit. Man, Heurtel was probably my favorite player in Euroleague, but after these past 2 years, and if he signs with Russian team, damn, they say don't hero people you dont know.
I'm puzzled why any player would choose to play for a Russian team given the invasion. But life must be more difficult with other sanctions, too. Hard to believe players don't have other options. Wasn't it in Russia where players were complaining that their pay was late? And that was before the war...
Anyway, France is getting hit by injuries and now these sanctions. When fully available it's the biggest threat.
Why did any foreign player signed the contract with any USA sport club, during the USA invasion of Iraq and AfghanistanHave you ever been puzzled by that??? I mean innocent people have died in that war too, but I guess their skin was brown color so they don't count.
1. I didn't mean for my post to be political though it's baked into the situation. It was more about safety and financial implications, if ethics were not a factor.
Every war has inoccent lives lost. Not all wars are the same.
What is the point of the whataboutism? It's bad to support a country that is involved in war? Do players consider ethics when playing in China, Turkey, Serbia, etc.?
Guess they should all play in Switzerland, then.
Curious that you chose only USA as your focus. No agenda there...
But you had motives to impute so there's that.
2. If you can't see the difference between the two scenarios, perhaps you ought not veer the conversation in that direction.
