Glad to hear that she didn't make the cut, but isn't she also like 100 years old?

She'll probably sue.

Anyone know the difference between the USA women’s soccer team and a bunch of pygmies?

Well, I do know that one is a cunning bunch of runts.

This is so freaking cool that she(???) got set out.

There's no sense of patriotism anymore where everyone could come together and want to root for the athletes that represent the USA. Everything has become jaded thanks to politics.

Like the ”American“ (US citizen) athletes that represent another Country. Should not be allowed. Way more prevalent in hockey, but most of those players are not Americans (US citizen) which still bothers me as they are making their fortunes playing on an American (USA) team.

Reminds me of that old saying, "If a tree falls in the forest, I do not give a ****."

Are you talking about foreign nationals playing on professional sports teams?

 

[Bugzilla]

Per the DOD definition, and in general, I would say yes. More so for any that have temporary legal residency. Does US custody mean jail?
foreign national
Any person other than a US citizen, US permanent or temporary legal resident alien, or person in US custody. (US DoD)

I'm not trying to quibble over terms. I'm honestly just trying to figure out what you have an issue with.

So, if that is a yes to my last question, why does it upset you that a foreign national would be paid by a professional sports team to play for them?

Honestly, football is the only one I can think of that doesn't have a number of them playing. It's also the only one that is really only in the US. MLB, the NBA, and the NHL all have teams in Canada as well.

That's the correct answer to that philosophical question. When someone brings up that question, I like to ask it a different way. If a bear **** in the woods and there was no one there to smell it, did it really stink? Answer: I don't care.

NHL is not in Russia and there are plenty of Russian players. NBA? Lots of Europeans and even some Chinese. Those sports are internationally played. American Football is pretty unique to the US. We play some games in the UK, but our Football game really hasn't caught on in the same way that Basketball and Baseball have caught on internationally.

But either way, it's the same point. Why does it matter if a Russian plays for an NHL team? Or a Croatian plays for the NBA?

I thought Bugzilla's original beef was with naturalized U.S. citizens representing their home country in the Olympics. Maybe I misunderstood, but I didn't understand how it morphed into non-citizens playing in professional sports.

This is what I saw:

What if the Pope ***** in the woods? Is a bear catholic?

 

[jamil]

I don’t care.

Well. Actually I do care. Not about the pope ****ing in the woods. But a bear being religious would be interesting.

That is why I asked the question. I did not understand what he was trying to say.

That is correct. Play on an American team, make your fame and fortune on an American team, then represent another country in the Olympics.

 

[KLB]

That is correct. Play on an American team, make your fame and fortune on an American team, then represent another country in the Olympics.

My opinion is meh. Beyond the total lack of interest I have in the Olympics, playing in the Olympics is still a big deal to a lot of athletes. I don't care if they play for whatever country they came from.

Of course I also don't follow any of those sports any of those sports anymore either.
