The Olympic Conundrum

Postby EastStang » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:21 am

If a Mustang is competing for another country, do you pull for the Mustang or the American?

The Olympics since professionals were allowed to openly compete have lost a little bit of luster IMO. I think there may be a movement to include golf as an event thus allowing PGA pros to get in on the action. So my answer is 'Go Mustangs' !

My view is that I will pull for a Mustang in the individual sports. In the team sports, I will pull for the USA team against a team with a Mustang team member while hoping the Mustang will play well.

It will be difficult to pull for Moravcova over that 87 year old grandmother from the US, but I think I will.

Difficult? No it won't. Dara Torres is awesome, and gorgeous, but she's not a Mustang.

Good luck, Martina!

The US Pro golfers complain about the Ryder Cup participation due to no pay or benefits and that is within their own venue. I doubt that the big guys will be willing to give up their time and money for the Olympics. Some PGA pros might be more than happy to play but I do not think we will see Tiger going for the gold.
