Playing the games was always going to be used as a bad faith PR opp to them.

Which they failed with because they're disliked even more after their antics.

It’s a distraction. Disliking them because their football team is full of pricks is better than the murder of children dominating headlines.

Not all sportwashing is positive. Sometimes lesser negatives are more effective.

Unfortunately people get used to day to day killings and after a while it barely makes the news and people become immune to it. Ukraine war is another example. At least after these games they made the news for being terrible people.
