Pretty much every formula 1 team has dropped all their Russian sponsors

without knowing anything about formula 1 I would guess there is a lot more capital and government connection there than with a tiny ski company. unless twoowt is actively involved in the war effort than I think its foolish and hateful to imply that siver should leave and starve out some unaffiliated Russian ski company owner

Yeah, I'm not sure. I personally hope they don't lose their athletes. Twoot is probably made up of genuine people who don't deserve what their government puts them through.

If he left Twoot just because the brand is located in Russia he’s a goof so I highly doubt it. You can’t just write off the whole country because the president is a dickhole. Ski brands shouldn’t be dragged into politics.

It’s Haas because they're desperate for money and UralKali was their title sponsor and the owner’s son drove for them. It was always scandalous

don't think siver will care too much about politics if it's not about legalization in Norway

It's not that Haas is desperate for money, it's that it's billionaire owner wants to put as little of his own money in to it as he can.

I mean… twoowt now has 0 ability to pay him( or any other athletes for that matter) so it’s not that out there to think he’d find another sponsor. Any Russian company is now disconnected from western financial systems and can no longer receive/send any money

I heard twoowt is supplying Russian ski troopers with equipment.

In all seriousness I agree. It's just a ski company trying to get by, I doubt they support Putin or his war
