It's Social Justice plain and simple. Like it or lump it.

Social justice only applies to a certain ideology’s determination of victim groups, based on present day political needs and desires. This is fundamentally incompatible with the agenda, and so must be dismissed. Revisionism does not and can not apply to victims of the Soviets, whether or not a line is drawn at being blocked by a league or a state to reach the end point of not being allowed to play.
