War's Influence on Basketball
#2
I also heard that Olympiacos don't want to travel to Tel-Aviv to face Maccabi. But I guess that was sorted.

Sports and politics should be separated. That's the main principle that should be followed. Personally I think that teams should be punished for not going to play in a safe place. That's what happened in Euroleague a few years ago. I think it was in 2004 when Tel-Aviv hosted the Final Four. Pamesa refused to travel to Israel to face Maccabi in Top 16 and were given a technical loss. That opened the chances for Zalgiris but they lost in a magical ending.
