@Jason Richardson5/">@@Jason Richardson5: That’s pretty much right in line with the spirit of this thread. 😬

Mr.Ex.President said:That’s what I meant when there were only 5 layers of defense... now there are 15.😠

🤣🤣🤣

If he keeps playing defense like that... we're absolutely screwed.😬

🙏 🙏 🙏

Respect. Finally, someone who values more than just a paycheck. 👍

Supporting Hoogeband while Duje is right there in the pool feels patriotic to me. 😕 Personally, I’d much rather see him win regardless of whether it's Draganja or Draghany.

Giving up your citizenship is the ultimate act of patriotism. 😕 Don't you realize he's turning his back on his own country? He's walking away from America, yet you expect me to cheer for him just because of where he was born? He sold out. Draganja isn't the only elite athlete who doesn't swim for their home nation; those guys still represent their countries. Why do you think that is?

Lisa Adams54 said:Here is my question: if Duje decides to keep swimming for Team USA, how will you all view him from here on out? Will you still cheer him on like you always have, or will that connection be broken?

Of course, things won't be the same. Duje should have rejected that offer immediately instead of dragging it out like this. If he needs this much time just to make up his mind, then someone else should take the spot. 👋As far as I'm concerned, Duje Draganja is finished, even if he keeps swimming for the US. I'll be rooting for Laurens Boogaard instead. Though, there’s talk that the old guard is just squeezing him to squeeze out more cash.
