Let them snort coke, do marijuana, I don't care. But absolutely no PED's ever unless you make a separate division for it.
Only issue with this is where you draw the line in what is considered a performance enhancing drug? Athletes are already taking all kinds of performance enhancing drugs and we are absolutely fine with it unless some wizard behind the curtain labels that particular one as banned. What if we keep the olympics as is, but create a second international games even where anything goes and there is no testing?

Not sure what that has to do with this topic?

When you can just become a free agent of any country - then get a sham citizenship just to play for them - the whole playing for your country thing gets super watered down.

If you are born somewhere, citizen somewhere, you play for that team. Period. If you don't like that, you don't have to play in the Olympics or National Teams. Door is always open to any pro team.

That’s a completely different situation. jurgen klinsmann Was hired to coach the usmnt (which I assume you’re taking about) and guide the youth leagues.

He wasn’t an athlete representing their country.

Their are numerous American coaches, coaching teams all over the world abs Vice versa.

The athletes themselves aren’t coaches.
And it shouldn't be allowed for National Teams or the Olympics.

It also sickens me that men coach women in WOMENS basketball & other WOMENS sports. These ****s are just taking away a spot that should go to a qualified women. It's completely asinine. What kind of man would coach girls high school sports? Creeps, mainly. Sure you get some good guys in there, but it's just opening up a can of worms.

What about them? They fought wars and lost.

They weren't American citizens at the time but foreign enemies.

It isn't and it is why the Olympics have become a farce.

I knew a lady who played for New Zealand softball. Her dad was from NZ. She was born in America. But that loophole allowed her to play for NZ. It makes little sense but that is the world for you.

Not sure if a double bird is NSFW or not, but we'll put it in the tags just in case.

Spoiler!

More athletes leads to more teams which provides more content for NBC.

The Winter Olympics setting (bad) records.

And the night with the most viewership was post-Super Bowl on Sunday… and it still lost 90%+ of the Super Bowl viewership.

My God. 30 hours after a bout of food poisoning, Jessie Diggins becomes the first American to ever win multiple medals in Cross Country by taking the silver in the 30km mass start. What a bad ass!

These are all recent Olympics. That's more telling than the "Beijing" part. People just don't watch the Olympics (or TV in general) like they used to.
