Maybe it shouldn’t be about the country and its medal counts then. Imagine spending the best years of your life training, only to be told to throw the match because some bureaucrats thought it was best for their country? This whole patriotism thing in sports seems silly. Two highly trained and motivated people are playing, let the better person win the match. Why does it have to be so hard? Maybe it is time to stop playing national anthem and play the winner’s favorite song instead. Wave a white flag instead of the national flag.
