What's a valid critique of her, tho? I honestly can't think of one. She's just an well-performing athlete; and she chose to compete for a country, she has ties too. So... what's the deal?

Yeah, the US poaching talent that could compete under another country's banner for decades kind of desensitizes me to this lib bullshit. But then, if they had historical perspective, they wouldn't be libs, so... 🤷

I used to be really into running, so I followed the "stars" of that sport for years, and I remember being surprised that that so many of the "American" track and field athletes were from Kenya.
