I see it as pretty equal myself. Many upset that anyone dares mention political issues in favour of just being excited about his record attempt and many others that can't believe people aren't taking it into consideration.

Russia vs Ukraine is a major conflict and just so upsetting, so I'm okay with it being slightly divisive and front and centre in a sports discussion over an athlete, imo, no big deal. Not quite sure where I stand, personally as I've always loved Ovi but am struggling badly with this. That's life though. Our "that's life" is getting butt hurt over who has what opinion and gatekeeping athlete discussion. Their "that's life" is wondering if they're in the line of fire on any given day.

Life is difficult for many and sports is an escape for many, and sometimes those worlds cross over and it's a little contentious. That's okay.
