People here are really insane. Do they honestly believe she wanted to make a statement about the war, when all she has said so far "keep politics out of sports?"

She just likes the team, has been supporting them for many years and attended matches long before any war. There isn't more to this story.

What's next, ban every American that was wearing a US sports team jersey while they invaded the Middle East? Or should we ban anyone that was wearing a Lakers or Chicago Bulls shirt during the time the US invaded?

People here need to learn to focus on the tennis and not on the color of a shirt someone is wearing during the entrance. GET A LIFE. And keep politics and negativity FAR OUT of this WTA1000 tourney.

It's a dumb move. It might be her fav club but we're far from seeing this as a normal thing in the current times. Many people won't care about this but some definitely will which could lead to a scandal.

I honestly don't see it as a provocation because I don't see the point in doing it right now but not very bright from her. Maybe trying to copy Azarenka and her PSG thing but girl it's not the time.
You really think these tennis players think so complex about everything? She likes the team, has since she was a child, attended their matches for many, many years and just thought it was cool to wear that shirt.

She couldn't have known that some freaks/stalkers care more about her than about anything else and try to create drama. Like someone said, Potapova is a random top 30 player with no big titles, why do people obsess and watch what she is wearing during the entrance to a tennis match? I didn't know about that, and I'm known as one of her biggest supporters.

If Potapova would have been smart enough to anticipate the outcome of hear simply wearing this shirt, she wouldn't have done that. But then, she also wouldn't have lost her 5-0 lead vs Volynets or this match yesterday.
