Are they terrorists? Are they teenage girls? Are Russian citizens known for going around and killing anyone who doesn't convert to their religion?
Have you read the Poli Board.....What do they think of well everyone that looks remotely different from them.....
Considering what Russia is doing to Ukraine, I would not blame any Ukrainian not wanting to team up with a Russian.....
I am more offended that a athlete who has played pro basketball in Europe can now come and play college ball here.

Kate Koval is a jagbag.
Don't do that. She's thousands of miles from home scared for her family and home country. She could feel isolated and basketball is her sanctuary and now she's thinking about Russia there too. I understand why Kim did it and I understand why Kate could walk away from it.

Do these emo athletes not realize that Russian civilians have no responsibility for what the Russian military does?
We had Americans going so far as calling them freedom fries because they were mad at France for 1/10000000000000th the beef Ukraine has with Russia.

I guess we're not all "Citizens of the World" after all then? This is weak sauce. I can't quit my job just because I have co-workers who are from Muslim countries that want to kill me

You can if you want to.

Any reasonable adult who doesn’t think this way and shits on Kate is a much bigger piece of shite and immature snowflake than they are pathetically calling her out as. Completely incapable of understanding nuance and trying to see different perspectives in good faith.
But this is the Rant, a place where a lot of them come to congregate and spew their ignorances and hatreds while hiding behind the anonymity it provides.

THE RUSSIAN COMING TO PLAY FOR LSU HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAR!!
Koval has issues with Russia, the country that is destroying her country. Koval's dad is risking his life fighting for Ukraine. If Koval does not want to play with someone from Russia, that is her business and is understandable.
Perhaps the young lady from Russia has relatives in the Russian military; I do know this to be a fact and either do you.
I wish Koval well, and I will be cheering for the Russian girl at LSU.

I’m fine with Koval leaving because of this if this is how she feels, but it’s ridiculous she is getting so many compliments for being “courageous” and “principled.”

This may be the most on-point post I have ever read in my 21 years of posting here.

I'm certainly not trying to do that. I hope she doesn't blame herself. She's barely been here and I doubt she did anything to offend. Like my first post, a sticky wicket.
