On sports.

Players’ switch of national teams is only for their own career or money. So many players did this. Balogun has no chance to make England team and Nigeria didn’t make WC. He is just Eileen Gu in reverse. Gu chose to represent China instead US - her birthplace and where she grew up and was trained.
