Eileen Gu, the California-born Olympian who chose to represent Communist China instead of the United States, says it is “not her business” to address the fate of thousands of Muslim-majority Uyghurs experiencing genocide in the country she competes for.

Pretty much the same thing as if Steve Kerr got a sex change and coached for a Shanghai basketball team.

While the whole concept of competing for another country other than your own in the Olympics makes the entire event a joke, I can appreciate the sentiment of staying out of politics and focusing on the sport.

All the athletes need to respond similarly.

Thousands of ISIS transferred out of Syria to Iraq some future cannot fodder for jihad in western China IMHO.

But Iran must be vanquished to clear path through Afghanistan to get there.

The kiss up to Turkey and ally Qatar key here because Uyghurs are Turkic people.

When is she changing her citizenship to China, and when does she ship out of the U.S.?

“””I can appreciate the sentiment of staying out of politics and focusing on the sport.””””

I doubt she would keep her mouth shut if they asked her about Orange Man Bad.

and she is right, it is far above her paygrade even if she is getting 25 million for her decision to represent China.

She’s a disgusting sellout to the Red Chinese.
Sold herself to the highest bidder.

Yaa, I am by no means defending her. I am just supporting a commonsense attitude we need to see more of everywhere.

This little twit has been trying to make it about her from the beginning of the Olympics.

1st, she competes for china, then she was whining about the scheduling of the events not being to her liking.

I guess the whole Olympics is supposed to bend over backwards to accommodate her, and now this.

If she likes china so much she needs to move her little woke ass over there and stay.

I do too. But in her case, she is on the China payroll and not in a position to criticize her financier.

I wish these damn reporters would stop asking gotcha questions and stick to the sport.

In the USA, we’ve all adopted the marxist concept that EVERYTHING must be about politics.

Certainly the left isn’t afraid to do it - from Hollywood to my local baker, the leftist drones insist on barking on the issue of the day, like trained dogs. Once it was “me too,” then it was health-care, now it’s ICE.

Do I care that Eileen Gu, and Olympic skier and model for couture brands does not care about Uyghurs?

NO.

I know it’s a longshot, but I hope the reporter’s question will haunt, her from now on.

She could’ve been honest and said that the Uyghurs are so despicable that even Buddhist monks want to kill them.
