RBY is still an American.Penn St before country?
If that is how you choose to describe it, OK.Penn St before country?
True but he isn't representing AmericaRBY is still an American.
To each their own. Personally, I would always root for whoever is competing for America no matter where they went to school.RBY is still an American.
Kind of wondering if you would fell it appropriate to attempt the childish shame card on the Amine family.To each their own. Personally, I would always root for whoever is competing for America no matter where they went to school.
No shame on them. However, if I was a Michigan fan and an Amine was competing against an American, I would root for the American. If Spencer Lee was competing for France and was facing an American, I would root against Spencer.Kind of wondering if you would fell it appropriate to attempt the childish shame card on the Amine family.
You know, family before country?
Do you really want to unpack each person’s value function on here? With your one-dimensional opening question, I’m guessing you may be in for more than you’re bargaining for.Penn St before country?
It's really simple. In international competition do you cheer the person representing the US or someone else.Do you really want to unpack each person’s value function on here? With your one-dimensional opening question, I’m guessing you may be in for more than you’re bargaining for.
The original topic is still Freestyle Soldier Salute, so who cares.True but he isn't representing America
Some of you seem to have forgotten the thread title. It's not the Olympics.
It's not even Worlds. It's an exhibition event in podunk Iowa. If you wanna hype one of the matches up to be NLWC vs HWC, knock yourself out. I'm rooting for the Ono guy.
My apologies. If I said "Flo's backyard" instead, would that be better?
That’s like a 16hr drive?My apologies. If I said "Flo's backyard" instead, would that be better?

Not since the Sinclair dinosaur left the scene …I prefer to think of it as the Disney World of Iowa. "Greatest place on Earth" kind of vibes, for sure.
I don’t care who you root for, this match is all kinds of exciting. Ono looked completely unstoppable last year, but Spencer has such a unique style and edge with this grip strength, etc. No matter the results, fans win.
Hearing Brooks vs Zahid won't be happening. Brooks had a surgeryGoing to be a great event all around. Anyone making the trip?
No idea how Lee/Ono will play out. Brooks/Zahid rematch will be a good one. Andonian/Gomez probably going to be like 17-14 before someone gets stuck. Carr has his work cut out for him against Takatani.
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I have a day job.Notice how the poster still hasn't replied.
Fixed it for uSorry for taking so long to reply. I have a day job.
I rooted for Spencer Lee in the Olympics. I always root for USA athletes in the Olympics regardless of their college affiliation.
But the upcoming event isn't the Olympics. It's an exhibition between a former Iowa wrestler and a current NLWC wrestler. The hierarchy goes: God, Country, Penn State, NLWC, all others, colonoscopy, Iowa.
