High there Weeg. Way to bring Hitler into the conversation for no reason. I don’t think he would have taken a Black man as he wanted to showcase the alleged superiority of Aryan athletes.
She’s fulfilling her personal dreams the only way she can. Her playing for Russia doesn’t aid the cause of Putinism in any way. It’s just an athletic competition.
For some athletes the Olympics are a national pride deal, for others it’s a personal thing. I certainly hope she loses. If both teams advance Russia will play team USA in the semifinals.
But to suggest this tantamount to some kind of treason is a bit ridiculous. It’s a basketball tournament, she didn’t join the KGB. Her actions haven’t caused harm to anyone other than girl who would have gotten her roster spot if she wasn’t there (two other Americans tried out).
For some it’s “all about me.”
I wonder how she would feel if it came down to Russia vs the US for the Gold and Russia won? I bet she’d feel great about it.
If it's all personal, why do they play the national anthems at the medal ceremonies? You're way off.
