■ MOSCOW TIMES 20 January 2014 : Khodorkovsky Release Is Nice, But Not EnoughMwah! I'm glad to read this article. He begins to squirm. Wake up, Mr. Sharp Nose! It's been ten years you experienced hibernation. Now you must get up and take part fully in Russian politics. Do not go just because of a broken heart or disappointed or feel inferior because of their treatment. Many people need your contribution in Russian politics. Promise to the past which has been forging you to be a powerful figure in your future and your country. You will not have a great self confidence if you always think of failure before trying. So, do not be afraid to try. All things also happen through changes. So, make a change. Be yourself better. Mwah! ( Dear God, please protect this unique man for this time and forever in his life. Amen.)

Oh, I see. Well, seemingly, in Russia the boundary between the legal and political issues are not always clear. Moreover, if the legal issues touching the politicians, whether in the form of a personal scandal or public scandals, such as corruption. (What are you talking about, Cisca? Putin said about sport, not the laws problems or political accident, you know?)
And the frenetic of noisy and rowdy democracy, can it be, a sporting event free of politicization? There may be the answer, "It is impossible to be politicized." However, in certain doses, Sports seems indeed to be politicized, moreover the history proves many sporting events or its figures role becomes a political movement, or at least take effect, politically. For example: Mohammad Ali. His resistance to compulsory the military service and his refusal to be sent to Vietnam has encouraged the antiwar movement reached its momentum.
U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War was finally questioned, especially those who sent to the front lines and died in in body bags generally were the black soldiers. Finally, with very embarrassing, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson withdrew the U.S. troops from Vietnam after about 58,000 U.S. soldiers died in the swamp or in Vietcong's tunnel rats.
Due to the insistence of the antiwar movement, among others, from figures such as Muhammad Ali and John Lennon with his slogan famous "Make Love, Not War", Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara finally admitted what was done by the U.S. army in Vietnam was wrong, terribly wrong. Muhammad Ali was then known not only as a famous boxer, but also an anti-war figure, and champion of skin color discrimination.
Mmmm...one more thing. What should be driven from the sports world to another world --especially to the politics world -- is an aspect of sportsmanship. Each athlete has been forged that losing and winning in the game are common. The important thing is preparation, practice, and give the best. In the world of sport apply: first come, who is strong, then he wins, which is also the Olympic motto, Citius (faster), Altius (higher), Fortius (stronger). Who wins, he's the best. In the politics world, winning and losing becomes unusual. Politicians are ready to win, but they are not necessarily ready to be defeated. That's what led to Russia -- as referred to by some people here, including my partner -- as a noisy and rowdy nation.
Therefore, sportsmanship in the sport should be adopted also by the political world. So, Mr Putin, that is what I mean by Politicization of Sport.
***
What? ...... From Sochi, Muhammad Ali until Vietnam war? Ahahhaa...aa ... your link is too wide, Cisca! Too creep. Mmm ... why do not you narrow its focus, for example, "All Russian politicians are obliged to follow the sport because the sport is good for the body and mental health." ... Mens sana in corpore sano! Mens sana in corpore sano! Yups, such that, ... and you, the terrorist group, please do not damage the sport event, because people need to live healthy, not to be killed. If you feel urgent to terrorize, do the next time, ok? Not now. That's all. Thank you for your understanding.
