In the domain of Mixed Martial Arts there's a discussion over whether to permit Russian nationals to have fights, even though the majority of Russian nationals in MMA are from colonized ethnic groups who live in the southern Russian republics, e.g. Chechnya, Dagestan, etc. Amateur wrestling would be completely fucked if it were to conceive and follow through on such a ban given the hegemony in amateur wrestling these southern Russian republics hold there, particularly Dagestan.

>Chechnya

Even if the invasion had never happened boycotting Chechnya would have been acceptable given their previous actions.

Sure, but that's independent of the current conversation while not being wrong in its own context.
