Don’t sweat it.

Obtaining foreign citizenship means losing your US citizenship. Living in Russia is punishment enough.

“Sickening. I hope everyone that knows her, shuns her”

This is absolutely ridiculous! She could not make team USA and so was invited to play for a country where she routinely plays in a league. It’s the Russian Olympics team not the russian army. ultimately it’ll mean nothing to 99.99% of the country but the Olympic experience will mean everything to her. Also, note in the photo her hand over her heart during the US anthem...better than 95% of the atheletes who play domestically in the NFL,NBA,MLB, etc.

geez, lighten up, changing nationalities to play on an Olympics team is not exactly a new thing. happens often enoguh, including, gasp, people who grew up in other countries but became U.S. citizens in order to compete as a member of the U.S. team.
