Sickening. I hope everyone that knows her, shuns her.
Let me guess? She’s the short one holding her hand on her heart during The Star Spangled Banner right? Well we know where her heart is don’t we.
Colorado State Univeristy is another liberal college; in ways this move by Becky makes sense to me, as our Women’s basketball is in another league than the Russians and the liberal college will faster un-american feelings with any student.
Strangely, I work closely with women’s basketball, and I do not remember Becky going through the younger trials. I’ll have to check my photo files.
Nothing to do. She will get spanked if she goes up against the best.
She’s playing basketball, not joining their military.
She’s fine.
Exactly the same thing as if she was putting on a cosmonaut suit to fly a Russian rocket to the Space Station because she didn’t get picked for a U.S. Shuttle launch.
No big deal. Not treason.
Anne Donovan, U.S. women's Olympic Basketball coach: “If you play in this country and you grow up in the heartland and you put on a Russian uniform, you are not a patriotic person.”

Becky Hammon: "The jersey that I wear has never made me who I was. It has nothing to do with what's written on my heart,"......."Will I be playing for Russia? Yes. But I'm absolutely 100 percent still an American. I love our country. I love what we stand for. This is an opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing in the Olympics."

Our castoffs are better than their first string.
Lets see her parlay this into an endorsement contract.
what a shame and a sham......ridiculous....
She is just a “citizen of the world”; similar to one of our candidates for President.
We are already beginning to see this happen in soccer.
During the recent European Championships, it seemed that every team had a player who was born in Brazil, even the Polish team had one.
