Unless Trenton, NJ is part of Sudan, she was born in the US. Her family moved from South Sudan before she was born. Mist if her siblings born there.
:lol: :lol: Pretty sure Trenton, NJ is a suburb of Sudan. :coffee:

Actually most of the athletes feel this way. What have we had a handful of protest compared to all the athletes that are at the games in Tokyo. Nearly every even, the USA participants will drape themselves in a flag. Protest are way over-hyped the news media, including fox and cnn.
Winner winner chicken dinner, Gil!

There are just a very small handful of shitcunt ingrates who I don’t pull for

Anyone else catch the triathlon last night ( i think it was that one). They were swimming and making pretty decent wakes and then I realized that they were drafting the leader. I didn't realize that was a swimming tactic but it kind of makes sense.

Anyway....that's all.

Thanks. I caught snippets while at a brewery. I gotta say - that was quite impressive. One swimmer got close enough to get kicked in the face. :lol:

Puerto Rico has a team.
On review, I will allow it.

As China absorbs Hong Kong, why do both get Olympic teams?
Kim-Wah Chung, deputy CEO of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, says the city’s Olympic team has become “a symbol of resistance” for people who are angry and frustrated at Beijing. Rooting for Hong Kong athletes and also cheering when mainland Chinese athletes lose is “an expression of the growing antagonism,” he said.

Chung added that he would not be surprised if Beijing seeks to disband Hong Kong’s team in the future and incorporate its athletes into one China team, to knock away another aspect of the city’s uniqueness.
...
Should athletes from the Pacific Island of Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean triumph in Tokyo, the anthem their Olympic champions would hear would be the U.S. one, “The Star Spangled Banner.” As U.S. territories, they compete under their own flags at the Games, like Hong Kong. American Samoa and Puerto Rico also have their own teams.
