Tiny picture
The Russian Football Union said it will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) to appeal against its ban from international competitions after the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
On Monday, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from all competition “until further notice” by Fifa and Uefa.
The union said it would file one lawsuit against football’s world and European governing bodies, demanding Russia’s men’s and women’s national teams be allowed to compete.
Or, you know, they could just look at the bigger picture and take the hit. Putin is not their fault, but he’s not Ukraine’s fault either, and look what’s happening to them.
The CAS sucks, by the way, so don’t be surprised if it rules in Russia’s favor.
