The State Duma reacted to the scandal at the World Hockey Championship, where it forced the fan to remove his t-shirt with the inscription “Russia”

Down-the-line.com/Hockey. Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Dmitry Svishchev commented on the incident that occurred during the Ice Hockey World Championship. During the group stage match of the Sweden-Hungary tournament, which was held in Tampere (Finland), the organizers demanded that a fan who came in a T-shirt with the inscription “Russia” took it off.

“A crazy event. At the World Cup, where Russia and Belarus do not participate, the symbols of these countries are banned, and Ukraine is left. We must not forget that Ukraine is also a party to the conflict .”

Amazingly, this was done by a citizen of Europe, an independent European state. He has the right to walk in what he wants and how he wants. The prohibitions go as far as idiocy, it has nothing to do with sport.
