Abramovic has ceded control of the club to a third party for now.

That's actually quite a thoughtful and reasonable response.

It is sometimes called Chelski. Its Russian owner, Roman Abramovic, has appeared to be benign for the club. I don't know if he is a wicked man behind the scenes. Somehow, he became one of Putin's oligarchs.

So how should we treat the team?

Its players come from all over the world.

Its manager is a German.

I kinda want to feel like I oppose the Russianness of the club, but the team is not the right target.

Not sure how to think about it.
