OT: Olympics
- Thread starter rcube1994
- Start date
You want to compete for China....fine...then STAY there for the rest of your lives. Renouncing your U.S. Citizenship? FU. Couple pieces of **** if you ask me.
Who cares? NBC and a couple of nuts on the board. They said they’re not watching the NFL but they are. I haven’t watch a minute of the Olympics but didn’t know everyone cared.
Fox News and OAN stopped telling the angry Maga drones to be angry with the NFL and moved on to China and the Olympics. Like clockwork ...
Well good thing we don't live in China. Yet. :WooHoo:We didn't ask you, tho
I know there is a similar thread.... but..
Gotta be heartbreaking to work so hard to get to this point. but the number of reports indicating the poor living, and eating conditions for our athletes and the others around the world is a disgrace. Even more so, the quarantining conditions are hurting athletes who "test" positive physically and mentally (see US figure skater Vincent Zhou).
How many are wishing for a reset (can't happen but)...
especially the images of the Nuclear towers by the snowboard slope in the bacground....

they should have never held the winter olympics in China anyway...all these snow based events...and there's no natural snow to be found in their venues.
I think it's good Beijing is this year. Was going to be a shtshow no matter what with Covid, so now it's just a double shtshow. Leave that all behind and hopefully next one is normal and good all around.
Looking forward to the Winter Games being held at a world-class ski resort again instead of a man-made dystopian wasteland.

I think a couple of the crazies on the board should show up at the airport and stop her from com8ng down from the gate. They probably need their guns to stop her. Caliknight should be there since it will be in Cali. BOB should be there but he might not be able to travel with his wheelchair.

It was the same for the Summer Olympics last year. Ratings for sports in general have been on the decline for years now, and a sizeable chunk of that is cord-cutters who are still watching, but via streams that don't count towards the ratings.
Whoa whoa whoa...Robs are not Bobs and Bobs are not Robs.
All of the people bent out of shape about people representing other countries are going to go back to not caring about them at all very soon. It's just the current anger flavor of the week. Their pundits will tell them something else to be mad about once the Olympics are over.
When I was a kid I heard "Eat your food, there are children starving in China"
Today you can say to your kids, "Eat your food, there are OLYMPIANS starving in China"

I don't either. Don't like it but this is what happens in the Olympics. But just to be clear if this were the other way round she be "disappeared" the moment she stepped foot back in China.
I’m sorry, BOB in the wheelchair. I don’t why they would get angry when they have no control over the situation. I want to live a happy life not an angry life. Yes, she should have represented the US but it’s a matter of $$$ more like $250-500 million representing China vs $10 million representing US.It was the same for the Summer Olympics last year.

to be fair that is likely because they couldn't make the team. Often "US" athletes will compete for their country of birth because they can make the team there.
Gu should stay in China. How would America reacted if someone from here represented Germany in 1936. I can see Americans representing other countries, if they are not able to make our teams, but not if you have to renounce your citizenship. As a first generation America, and having relatives that are married to Asians that were born in their respective countries, I can see no excuse for Gu, who probably had to renounce her citizenship.
The worst part is she was supported her entire career through US Snowboarding until China came and bought her.
F that girl.
You don't know that.
What we do know is China doesn't allow dual citizenship.
We also know she refuses to give a direct answer to that direct question.
F that girl.
I have provided you with the quarterly reports that are published by our government.
It is unknown if she gave up her citizenship. She refused to answer questions about it. The Olympic Committee requires that you travel on a passport of the country you represent, and China does not recognize duel citizenship.
No citizenship was given up. You will see she’s coming back to the US to attend Stanford next year.
She could have done it after.
The government still hasn’t released illegal alien crossing numbers for 2021. Not exactly on top of the game
The only fact we know is China doesn’t allow dual citizenship.

Foreign exchange students come here all the time.
It’s even worse. This country gave her a scholarship. F her
She has been competing for China since 2019.
You can’t find her name on that report and she was a candidate for 2021 Presidential Scholar Program.
As for the dual citizenship, I can confidently tell you CCP made an exception for all their foreign players, including some Canadians/Europeans on their hockey team.
Or you can tell me our government/DoE have been blindsided since 2019, and IRS was bought by China to hide Gu’s name.
