Sure, I can predict that given an equal opportunity to represent both counties on a world stage, I would choose the country where I was raised and grew up. And the country that allowed me to develop my talents.

Mondo doesn't do it for the check. He just is scared to compete for his spot every four years in a trial. #coward
Last year, his best result topped the best American result by more than half a meter.

Sorry, some of us are proud of what this country has given us. No amount of money would let me represent another nation.
Let me know when you turn down the opportunity to be the best in the world at your job and make tons of money wearing the flag of your parent’s home country because you have dual citizenship and America doesn’t give a shite about your talent except for one week every four years.

No, but they should be banned from training in the US.
So much butthurt over these athletes, whose choices and careers could not have less impact on the lives of everyday people with a modicum of emotional maturity.

Mondo is also a trater and should be rememberd as such! Could have been the greatest LOUISIANAMAL who ever was. Instead he chose the commie route and spit on his country! Sad
Oh, and his mom is Swedish so he has dual citizenship.
Oh, and Sweden isn’t a communist nation.
Oh, and did you mean “traitor”? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

She was absolutely dominant after the skier in front of her (second fastest first run) MISSED THE FIRST GATE and the skier in front of her (third fastest) broke a pole halfway down. Shiffrin blocked that all out and destroyed the field.

Were the overwhelming majority of people who came here initially Christians or nah?
If the founders as a group were “Christian Nationalists” as we understand that term today, we would not have this:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yes, they were “Christians” in the very broadest sense of the word but not monolithic in their beliefs and wary of any government with the power to regulate faith.

Let me let you in on a little secret. This country was founded by Christian Nationalists.
Even a superficial understanding of their religious and political beliefs would belie your statement.
Google "Roger Williams and Rhode Island" a spend some time getting to know the man who stood against attempts to regulate what people believed and how they practiced their faith.

Well since we have no clue what he told Miller and the player made an awful play that no coach would suggest, seems more likely it's on the player.

You’re really committed to it.
Players miss free throws, I don’t hold that against him necessarily. Injuries happen to every team, but good coaches can minimize the impact.
Failing to have your defenders set properly is not being snakebit, and he has no one to blame but himself.
