For those unfamiliar: Eileen Gu is a skiing athlete from San Francisco who chose to represent China in the Olympics because of her mother’s heritage. She has since gone to two Olympics and won six medals (3 gold, 3 silver).
Her critics have called her a traitor for this move, since it’s China, unashamed to hold her to a double standard seeing as how American-born athletes compete and win for other countries all the time.

Just another manufactured injustice to punish people who oppose them.
At this point I am proud of being an autistic, woke, TDS, non-christian, LGBT+ Ally.
Horrible fucking humans.
Curious if this guy takes money from foreign lobbyists?
Republicans are full of hate and distain for joy
If they didn’t have performative issues…

Alternates he could have spent time and money on: infrastructure, education, betterment of society at large.
We going to do the same thing for businesspeople with interests in China? Of course not.
This guy is such a fucking dweeb, does he do anything remotely useful
First let’s get tax 100% of all elected officials profits from foreign entities. We could have free healthcare with that tax.
I’m pretty sure this is unconstitutional……. NAL but I remember something in history and the constitution about not being able to make laws that target specific people. Something about bills of attainder?
Dual citizens can choose which country they compete for. There are plenty of athletes wearing USA uniforms who were born in other countries.
Can we tax Andy Ogles for lowering the IQ of everyone within earshot every time he speaks?
Lmao wait until he sees the rosters for the World Baseball Classic.
GOP traitor tax for Russian assets?
It will be wonderful schadenfreude when these Nazis get their names in the newspaper identifying them as foreign adversaries.
Then do the same with corporations that do business with other countries, like Apple, HP and Boeing.
He’s a graduate student at Trump University
All those math Olympiad and chess Olympics participants will get retaliation from China I guess.
You would think they have bigger problems to handle
We give way too much oxygen to guys like this.
Nice virtue signal.
He does know that there are other athletes that do this. In the 2022 Olympics there quite a few American that played for the Chinese hockey team, they didn’t exactly win gold but guess it only applies to those (in the voice of DJT) that are WINNING!!!
More performative bs.
Hey Andy…how about we worry about shit that actually matters. Literally no one gives a fuck about this
Petty little viscous assholes. The “governance to create Fox News chyrons” is getting really tiresome.
Good god , don’t they know even the first thing about the Constitution? Ever hear of a bill of attainder? They are taxes on named persons and they are unconstitutional.
Tax all lobbyists for other countries, alien corporations, and trade groups with more than 20% foreign members. (In US corp law foreign means another US state. Alien means outside of US)
Did this happen to Becky Hammon when she played for China?
*sigh*
… no, Andy.
You know this won’t pass, stop with the performative bullshit.
What about these people?
People registered as foreign agents under the U.S. [Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)](https://www.justice.gov/nsd-fara) are individuals or entities (lobbyists, public relations firms, consultants) engaging in political activities, lobbying, or PR on behalf of foreign governments, parties, or officials. The Department of Justice (DOJ) maintains a public registry of these agents to ensure transparency.
And what about all the American coaches that train foreign athletes abroad? Pretty sure there are foreign athletes training in the US under American coaches. Athletes can compete for any nation they want to compete for and are a citizen of.
Is that going to fix the economy, healthcare, housing…
I don’t think politicians should be concerning themselves with the rich kids talent show.

What about an elected official, like say, oh I don’t know….a president working for Russia?
I learned in high school that legislation of this type, aimed at one person or group, is called a Bill of Attainder, which is unconstitutional.
Martina Navratilova, as just *one* counter example 🤷🏻♂️
F*cking hypocrites
This is the party that complains people politicize everything, isn’t it?
Bigot Ogles. What about the other 7 Americans that competed in this winters Olympics for other countries? Guardians of pedos need racism to keep their maga base engaged.
I’m sure if it was Israel he would have been totally ok with it.
GOP Punishing a woman.. it must be a Tuesday
So where are the full Epstein files?
This crap needs to stop. The gop hopefully suffers a massive defeat at midterms and 2028. Millions are hurting badly under the trump regime yet and could use help. Yet these aholes are doing everything they can to give the rich all the breaks off the working person’s back.
I am not a lawyer, but I don’t think you can make laws that are retroactive or ones that are written specifically to only apply to a single person.
>No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
But I guess the constitution doesn’t matter anymore.
