So... let the Russian players abstain from wearing them then.
Some teams are wearing them but allowing players to choose not to. Correct?
I am unaware of any teams that are forcing everybody to wear them (please correct me if I'm wrong). I would assume the players union would step in if a team even tried that.
Yet teams are comfortable with the blanket "nobody is wearing them" decision.
Disappointing. If players should be given the choice not to wear them, they should be given the choice TO wear them as well.
