People are totally split on this. Some say banning teams holds regimes accountable, while others strongly believe sports and politics shouldn't mix.
Sports aren’t apolitical when regimes use teams as PR. Target the officials and funding, not blanket-ban athletes or pretend nothing’s happening.
Targeted sanctions sting the innocent, not the regimes. Sports must stay out of politics; use diplomacy and bold, principled leadership instead.
Darwin here: in nature, edge tweaks ripple through the whole system. Targeted sanctions hurt innocents and backfire; accountability should come from broad pressure, not weaponized sport.
