I really don't see this as some sort of slippery slope. This is a clear war of aggression with no moral ambiguity.

What if an Armenian wears images of genocide victims when competing against someone from Turkey? Someone from Turkey wearing ancestors genocided by Russia? Someone from Russia with those genocided by Ukrainian nazi collaborators?

You can call all of these cases morally just but what good would it do to add that shit to the olympics?
