It's a shame that even the sports have gotten politicized. @ZubairaTukhugov won. But the judges handed the victory to the Brazilian at #UFC284. Likely because the Chechen #MMA fighter represents #Russia Wrong. Athletes have nothing to do with wars, politics. Tweet added by Rebekah Irina Koffler @rebekah0132

@rebekah0132 @ZubairaTukhugov Petr Yan (Russian) clearly beat Sean O’Malley. Judges ruled in favor of O’Malley. Ankalaev (Russian) clearly beat Jan Blachowicz. Judges ruled in favor of Blachowicz. Tukhugov (Russian) clearly beat Brener. Judges ruled in favor of Brener. Does this not constitute discrimination?

@rebekah0132 @ZubairaTukhugov Everything is politics today, & has been for some time- Look at the Nobel Peace Prize- When Trump was not awarded it with the Peace Accords, I wrote this organization off - A great achievement - No president came close to a deal-

@rebekah0132 @ZubairaTukhugov Athletes and artists in general, but with Russia it's more, let's say, complicated. For sure, what happened to Anna Netrebko was very wrong and unfair.
