Russian teams should leave the European federations and join the Asian federations. Asian countries mostly have positive or neutral views of Russia, so the Asian federations might let them play.
>but muh history
Doesn't matter.
>but most of the Russian population lives in Europe
Most of the Turkish population lives in Asia but Turkey is part of Europe in sporting contexts, and that's not even getting into cases like Israel, Kazakhstan, and Australia.
>but the Asian competitions are weaker
True, but it's better to play in a weaker competition than not to play at all.

Eurovision isn't a sport, retard

sure. can kazachstan, azerbaijan, israel and turkey do that as well. BIPOC solidarity and all

>>150684565
Israel is in the opposite situation; the Asians won't accept them (for obvious political reasons). The others could move to Asia but have no incentive to do so.

Russia? never heard of her

>>150684361 (OP)
Why even care?
Fuck foreigners

>Russian teams should leave the European federations and join the Asian federations
Please do. And never come back

>>150684361 (OP)
That's a good point, Turkey should be booted out of Europe

>>150684565
Türkiye and Azerbaijan are more European than countries like England, France, and certainly Germany at this point

They shouldn’t swap, this is bullshit. Russia is a European nation. They should just be allowed back in (assuming they don’t get caught doping again) so that we can have some based grudge matches. Sports federations should only ban members for sports-related reasons, political stuff is too biased

>so that we can have some based grudge matches
FIFA bans "based grudge matches". Serbia and Bosnia, Serbia Albania, Azerbaijan and Armenia etc. are all banned fixtures.
Theyd just ban Russia vs half of Europe besides Hungary and Slovakia.

Yeah, and that’s gay
