    Don’t pretend like you’d read such a list. You just said you had no way to figure out why a country would be banned from an international competition just one comment ago. If you couldn’t even think of reading an official explanation, we’re supposed to believe that a list that would be published in the same place would result in you being better informed?

    It’s pretty dead simple to ban a country from competition for being warmongering and genocidal. What would be complicated?

      Proving it. Also, some countries have influence. Is there anyone investigating the US over attacking Venezuelan boats supposedly carrying drugs?

        What does that have to do with you not knowing that when countries get banned from international competitions, it’s easy to find out exactly why, and that having such policies is pretty simple?

          Remember the US attacked a Venezuelan boat, and some survived but was attacked again. Would use consider this an action that should result in a ban?

              Well, if that is a disqualifying act, why wasn’t he US barred from participating in the World Cup?

                If that was really your concern, why did it start with you saying international sports competitions shouldn’t ban any countries?

                  It is simpler to let all countries participate rather than deal with the complexity of determining what acts are disqualifying, then having to investigate.
