I think the mods should preemptively lock these comments, but leave the story for informational purposes.

Why? Allow for freedom of conversation.

Also, fuck Russia and the IJF for still allowing them to compete even after all the state sponsored cheating.

It would be fine if it was a discussion amongst people who use this sub. In the past many political topics end up being overrun by accounts/bots with no connection to judo that flood the comments with spam content.

Why?

The history of this sub shows over and over again that with certain topics the mods end up deleting half the comments and locking the discussion anyways. This is a Judo sub and the discussion on topics like this draws the bots and other angry people who don't want to discuss the Judo related angle of this, just the partisan politics.

War of aggression by Goliath vs David = "Partisan politics"?

Your being downvoted is proof enough of the argument above. It’s a completely legitimate view to take or observation to make but it’s considered controversial in the Westoid redditsphere.

controversial in the Westoid redditsphere.

I don't know about the West.

In Europe there is nothing controversial or political about calling it what it is.

Good thing someone has not decided the sky is republican/democrat or half the US would try gun it down while reddit mods would ban the words clouds and rainbows to prevent political discourse.

Aha. Well, it's funny how people are now complaining about Russians doping but not about Americans on every Olympic Games 😂 It's fine when USA does it Double standards
