Sharapova- Kid Gloves are Off

I saw Sharapova today and the same thought plunges into my head: "How is she still considered a Russian?" If you were born in a different school district, when you moved did you still play for that team? Did your achievements count for that school? Why does she get to experience life from age 4 up in America, yet play in the Olympics and Federation Cup (Where countries play other countries in women's tennis) FOR RUSSIA? If this were during the Cold War I'm fairly certain her extended family would be murdered. She has been trained in America at the Bolliteiri Academy, most of those years as a scholarship athlete, YUP, we footed that bill. SO, Sharapova spends approximate 0 time in Russia, except when ESPN sent her over there for a touching special since she never spent anytime there since her family decided that decrepit SHITHOLE WASN'T FIT FOR HUMAN LIFE. Someone explain this one to me. It doesn't stop there since many foreign women players make this same choice (pull this same shit). Jelena Jankovic, Anna Kournikova (Free pass on that one), Martina Hingis, and I'll throw in Ana Ivanovic (there are more). How is that fair in any way, shape, or form? I love training other countries women to kick our countries ass in tennis, it's fucking brilliant. I hope they enjoy the free education as well, and hopefully they can get free health care and food stamps too for their other family members. That's a low blow, but it is totally fucking ridiculous.
