Yeah, meh. I feel like if they were good enough to be on our tram they would. I am more upset by the people that leave their home country to come here to use our resources and knowledge to become great and then go represent another country. At least give us credit for helping you.

I have a problem with that as well. 

These 8 in the article are making it political which is always bad for sports and for the country.

Look at all the people born in Australasia and Pacific islands who play rugby for other countries.

Still, 8 US athletes playing for other countries in 2026 looks more political than anything else.
