How can you boycott if you are essentially uninvited?

I understood that point. My thought is the Int'l sports world essentially said they don't want them. They made an allowance just to be nice. It's not like the boycott would hurt the ones they are trying to affect. You boycott because your absence will somehow do damage and force a change. The Olympics & etc has already said they are ready to live with them. So what's the point of saying you're boycotting? The only ones who could actually have an effective boycott are the ones who are already permitted to go without any restrictions.

Not saying I agree with these points, just what I am reading.

Maybe. But like I said, the sports world said "come under our terms or not". So they are obviously underwhelmed over the prospect of the Russians absence.
