LSU had a women’s basketball player (who has family in Ukraine) quit because the team signed a 17 year old Russian player to play for them. As if the 17 year old holds any responsibility for the war… she deserves a chance to play she’s done nothing wrong

I wouldn’t blame a Palestinian player for quitting a team if a Israeli joined

I mean it’s not like she got the Russian girl kicked off the team, if she wanted to quit I don’t see why it’s a big deal. It affects no one but herself

This is not the LSU post I expected to see on US Politics today but yeah, assuming the Russian kid hasn’t said anything about the war this seems fucked up.

Unless she has chosen to renounce her Russian citizenship, she’s signaling her support for Russia

I feel like it’s less cause of the Russian player themselves and more so cause the team, knowing her history and family situation, ignored it and did this

This post is about Kim Mulkey who is also a scumbag. The entire LSU athletic department seems to be in a battle for who can have the most insufferable program

Not necessarily; most likely her whole family still lives in Russia, renouncing her citizenship would mean she wouldn’t be able to see her family for years at the absolute minimum (keep in mind she’s still not even 18) and not only that but there’s the possibility that if she renounces her citizenship then Russia punishes her family

lol none of that happens when you renounce your citizenship. You can still go back, you just aren’t a citizen. You don’t get punished for it.
