Did you consider that they might be representing the nation and not the regime?

    No, I don't. I realise this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of people who worked hard for a long time, but it's still a shit opportunity supporting horrible people.

    I also don't approve of China, Iran, Russia, etc.

    Athletes with moral integrity need to publicly declare that they won't play for authoritarians.

    That's like telling a kid they can't do what they love doing because their parents are bad people. You do you I guess. It's not like those athletes have any other option other than not doing what they love.
