[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of American athletes represent different countries.[/quote]

In fairness, it’s 99% because they couldn’t make the US team but still want to be in the Olympics.  I think everyone gets that.

I don’t fault EG…but she is doing it purely for the $$$s.  I know it’s crass to say it, but her excuses are just so hollow.

Almost wish she would say “here is what I get repping China, and here is what I would earn if on the US team”.  It would be millions either way, but she probably earns 2x-3x repping China vs US.[/quote]

China has a large impressive market with billions of young middle class, US F500s have been bending backwards to sell to China for 50 years, and now all of a sudden a young woman doing the same is hollow? [/quote]
NP. What’s hollow is the fact that she insists the money isn’t the reason she is repping China when we all know that’s not true. I don’t blame her, this is life changing money we are talking about, but just acknowledge that instead of spinning fantastical yarns about why you’re repping a country other than the one you were born and raised in.

Why should she explain herself to anyone when she is doing legal things?   If you are butthurt use preperation H.    A convicted felon who grabs pu$$ies is ok for you? Go and protest him. [/quote]
