This is a great moment to show solidarity in the face to stupid and backward policies. I sincerely hope the great minds choose to boycott this tournament and support a meaningful cause.

Boycotting this tournament should be a no-brainer.

I read your post as objecting, not agreeing. Perhaps others have the same confusion.

Thanks. May be a cultural thing.
