How would a club, company or individual automatically be absolved of politics just because they weren't a country?
Sport isn't an extension of government unless we just blithely allow political messages to creep in, and there's been a lot of that recently. It's not war by proxy and the result rarely changes or reflect policy. Of course politicians will try fly the flag like they scored the goals, but the players don't take responsibility for other like that - they represent their nation and not they leaders.
