As for the nationality being barred, I am not arguing the quality of the policy to bar all players of Russian nationality, I was arguing that it didn't amount to racism with the guy. It by definition doesn't. But if a Russian player trying out for a western league outright supports Russia in the war in Ukraine after being shown the atrocities happening, should that athlete still enjoy the benefits and salaries of playing in the West? I think there is a case against that.

There is also huge financial risk too with VISA approvals, logistics, and what not that would defacto bar them on paper anyways in the current environment.
It's not racism, but is the same moral measuring stick going to be used for everyone, or just for Russians?
