I agree… that was pretty gross. The sad part is that there’s an audience for that kind of stuff.

Lol I can't help but laugh about how people are so angry about the Eileen Gu scenario. Same scenario but she is representing Germany people won't give a shit, same scenario but she sucks people won't give a shit. People just going ape shit cause it's China, cause she's good, and cause she won't admit it's because of money if in fact it's about money which that audience seems to believe there no fucking way it's because she wants to rep her heritage and inspire others in China. This situation happens all the time in sports like literally. I'm done with the convo lets move on.

The point is she went from representing a democratic country to an authoritarian country. And she claimed Aung San Suu Kyi is her idol and supports human right movement but she kept quiet the whole time when other female athletes are voicing out about the Peng Shuai incident. On top of that she said that the people in china can freely access the internet if they've just downloaded VPN.. She clearly has no idea what shes doing.

Perhaps, honestly every post or video I've stumbled across has only focused on money. This is the first time I've heard anything else.

While figure skater Nathan Chen is competing for Team USA, freestyle skier Eileen Gu and figure skater Zhu Yi opted to compete for China.
Gu and Chen both won gold, while Zhu faltered on the ice during two consecutive showings. The public responses they've received in the Olympic host nation also took different turns.
Gu was hailed as a national hero, winning hearts, fame and fortune; Zhu was abused online, accused of bringing "shame" to her adopted country; and Chen was labeled a "traitor," coming under nationalistic wrath for "insulting China."

When Chloe Kim won gold, I remember hearing Americans say "she's not really American though, she's Korean". Meanwhile Michael Phelps is the face of a true "American".
At the end of the day, everyone is full of shit, we all carry racial dogmas, and only cheer for you when you're winning or have the image of being "like you".
Guess what, the France national soccer team are a bunch of Africans, when they win, they're beloved, when they don't, they're a bunch of black immigrant bastards trying to flood the country, and change the "French Heritage".
We're all fucking hypocrites, and money talks at the end of the day. We are all disposable at the end of the day.
The Olympics or any of these nationalistic events haven't been about the country for a long time now, it's about the athletes.
It's the same reason I never cheer for a given "team", an athlete will leave a team anytime if the money is right, a team can "relocate" to a new city based on economics, happens all the time. There is no affinity to that city of team, they don't care about any allegiance to you.
I cheer for the athletes that I like, in any given sport, at the end of the day, that's all it's really about.

lol, I actually just cheer for the team (Canucks). Whoever is currently on the team is part of the team. Once the athlete get traded, I stop following their career. I guess I see it differently. I'm not tied to any one athlete, even when they were my favourite one when they were on the team.

Canada vs USA for female hockey. Feel like they should just waive them through every Olympics haha. Not one country is even remotely close. Even China team which is made up of non citizens for most part can't compete.

So what? You have hollywood actors kowtowing to China and apologizing for saying Taiwan is a country.
She's only 18. Maybe it is just for the money or the fame - fact is she'd be a moron to admit that though and lose a lot of support from Chinese nationals.

Her sponsorship is close to 200million reminbi.
honestly all the power to her. Not the only american competing for another country.
There was an Iranian Chess Champion who was kicked off the Iranian team for not wearing the hijab and is not competing for USA.

Skinny is right, i hate the internet sometimes.
Yeah happens all the time.
Another famous case is Naomi Osaka. She grew up in America since the age of three but chose to represent Japan for the sponsorships. She can't even speak Japanese.
Put the Coyotes in and they would win a gold in a landslide. What a sham of an olympics this whole thing has been. It’s somehow been worse than even expected with all the China BS etc.
