Just think about how absolutely dominant our national teams would be in every single sport if we could just pull talent from every single one of those former North American republics. Rpresentation Bformer Yugoslav Republics (BYR).
But seriously, just imagine the power!

So, just out of curiosity, who exactly are you planning on handing that wooden medal to!?

What kind of way is that to talk to someone? It’s the exact same condescending routine John pulls, isn't it?
As for what happened over in Greece, I know it inside and out. That’s just how the game goes whenever politics starts bleeding into sports. You get these weaklings who can't handle taking an L, so they swallow whatever political garbage is fed to them.

Best of luck to both sides moving forward. That's just how the game goes. Maybe John will figure it out eventually.

What John did was the move of a man who’s completely lost it!
This kid needs to realize that sports are built on a foundation of wins and losses. You have to take both with some dignity and grace. If Dorothy hasn't grasped that yet, then she’s totally lost sight of what being an athlete is all about.
People will forget the score of this game pretty fast, but Dorothy's little stunt is going to leave a nasty taste in everyone's mouth for a while. Eventually, it'll fade because some other version of Dorothy will pop up in a different league, but still. Just look back at that absolute disaster in Greece when the entire American basketball squad walked out on the awards ceremony.
If you're playing at the elite level, you can't just be a great athlete—you have to be a decent human being first.
