Can someone explain to me why pro athletes get to live year-round in the U.S. and play against the U.S. in international competitions like the Olympics and the Presidents Cup? Jason Day hasn’t lived in Australia for decades, yet gets to play for Australia against us in the Presidents Cup. Will he be part of the mass deportation promised by Trump? Just wondering.
@johnldeboer do the Olympics or similar event matter?
@MookyTroubadour I don’t get your point. You mean, compared to war and climate change and human misery they don’t matter? Well, can’t argue with that!
@johnldeboer well, for sure in that example, but I’d suggest even more. The Olympics aren’t much of a thing (at least this is my view), so spending too many cycles trying to make sense of what they do doesn’t seem worth the effort.
