a. She is American. She is an American citizen.
b. That's not quite the conversation I'm having, so apologies if you specifically believe I was suggesting specifically that.

I think we can all agree Bru would have never played at a*m

Oh, really?
I'm not sure what the end game is with this latest political diatribe/rant of yours, but, once again, you've managed to make an ass of yourself by personally insulting your customers who dare to have an opinion different than your own.
I'm really not on a diatribe or trying to insult anyone. I don't think it's covering new ground to say that some people can be too patriotic, usually cloaking extreme positions in the name of "patriotism".
Patriotism can be defined by many things, which means everyone's perspective can be miles apart. A lot of times, no less right or wrong.
Not when it leads to questioning someone's citizenship, as has been done by numerous people in this thread.
You cannot question her citizenship, she is an American. However, she represents Japan. Therefore, she aligns with Japan in her sport but, she is an American citizen. I thought that is what we were talking about?
Basically some people think your nationality boils down to which country you play a sport for. I could get there if we’re talking matters of war and peace, but we’re not. We’re talking sport. She’s a dual-nationality American, just like my fiancée is a dual-nationality Canadian and one day my children may well be British-Americans. Hell, Osaka would still be more American than them because she actually grew up and lived in the United States.
You don’t want to root for her because she plays for Japan, fine. Just don’t question whether she’s American. There are plenty of us who are American and something else besides.
So, now you're defending the chosen citizenship of someone you've never met, who would very likely laugh at your nonsensical social justice campaign ITT.
Damn, people.
I know Ketch can “trigger” some on here to no end, but the reaction by some in this thread is rich. He stated that Osaka is a US citizen, and that’s true.
Everything else is just bitching and moaning down a rat hole because she plays internationally for Japan.
Personally, I think she should play for the US, but I’m not going to act like she’s an insidious, two-faced traitor who performed treasonous acts just because she doesn’t.

Wow,
Really hoping the 5 new guys pan out a good deal better than 4 of the 5 old guys.
Yes he does, but clay courts are why. He has a 23-15 lead head to head with a 13-2 advantage on clay. I would consider them equals.
Too bad that the official that watched Malcolm Brown's tightrope walk for a touchdown or the ref in the Lopez-Thurman fight wasn't on the field for the Saints-Rams game.

Surprised there’s more comments about Osaka than the nuggets about the Shaka situation. Does CDC have an idea how much apathy there is?
Because she represents Japan in the Olympics doesn't mean she doesn't also represent America.
They are not mutually exclusive.
I'll defend the citizenship of all citizens of this country, whether I've met them or not.
Not his character, just his rights as a a USA citizen. No one would say he's not American.What about this douche.
