The wife of Dmitriy Vorobyov, a forward of the Lokomotiv football club in Moscow, responded to the words of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyy's wife. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Previously, Zabarnyy's wife expressed regret that Russians, as a nation, could not be eradicated from the Earth. In response to these comments, Vorobyov's wife compared those speaking against Russia to "dogs" and emphasized that there are no other significant events in sports.
She also deemed the media's excessive focus on this topic as inappropriate and called for support for Russian athletes. In her opinion, it is more important to support athletes than to respond to such controversies.
Vorobyov's wife emphasized the need to avoid provocations in sports and to act wisely. At the same time, recently, Paris's PSG club won the UEFA Super Cup without the USSR and Zabarnyy.
This incident sparked discussions among the sports community. It was once again reminded that the media should focus on positive achievements in sports.
Such controversial statements can negatively affect the mental state of athletes. For this reason, experts are calling for the preservation of a spirit of unity and respect in sports.
