[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am cheering against this Eileen Gu chick so hard.  Can’t believe they interviewed her on American TV.[/quote]

I don't understand why American TV is giving her the time of day. She wanted to be a Chinese athlete, so treat her like the other Chinese athletes.

She also seems quite competitive in the event, so not sure why she had to go to China to make an Olympic team. [/quote]

Because she's a story, duh.  Pretty, successful, a medal favorite, future Stanford student, and a switch in citizenship - you bet she'll be on every screen. [/quote]

Yeah.......I don't think I necessarily would go out of my way to represent China. [/quote]
NP.  But what if she feels more affinity for the PRC than the US?  What if she believes more in their country?  Not everything can or should be boiled down to the material.  We see discussions all the time on here of people threatening to leave the US and very rarely are the primary concerns economic.  I don’t think she’s right or wrong for turning her back on the US and the USOC.  Maybe she believes in Communism or feels the future lies with Red China or the culture speaks to her.  It’s not always about money, something the majority of the people on here can’t understand.  I hope she puts in her best effort and is happy with her decision.  If at some point she decides she wants a return to the red, white, and blue, I say come on home.  We’re a country of second chances.[/quote]

Lol at the idea she believes in communism, when this is all done for endorsements.  So naive![/quote]
