"Kinda interesting Jamar Chase is destroyed and viciously attacked by this board after winning a NC for opting out one year during COVID, but Mondo opted out on his LSU career and turned his back on his country of his birth, and he’s a hero on this board. Wonder why?"

Actually this is extremely true

It’s not like he’s joining the Russian or Chinese team. It’s just Sweden. Probably be one of the few medals they win.

I’ll be rooting for the USA and its pole vaulter Kendricks. Not sure why people on the Rant gives him a pass, but I have my suspicions lol.


It is possible for LSU fans to root for Duplantis because he went to LSU while also rooting for Kendricks because he is competing for the USA.

Also not sure why you are insinuating race. Both of them are white.

Lol I’m comparing Rants defense of the great Mondo and the way they consistently trash football players. You’d have to be willfully ignorant to not know the reason why. God if Fournette was also a track star and decided to win a gold for another country this board would freaking go nuts.

Actually very different. One was eligible to go pro and one wasn’t.

Oh that’s it. More justification for Mondo. Doesn’t matter anyway according to the Rant, it’s America’s fault for having qualifying, not Mondo’s. Lol yea Mondo wouldn’t qualify for the USA! According to the Rant the USA Olympic team sucks big time!

Definitely will be rooting for Kendricks over Duplantis in the Olympics. He is representing the greatest country on earth and is also a veteran.

Rooting for or against a 21 year old pole vaulter that you don’t personally know is a weird way to determine if someone cares about America.

I thought it had something to do with the US team doing everything through qualifiers. 1 bad day and you don’t make the Olympics.

Sweden I think Is an invitational thing.

But the family is into their Swedish roots.

Antoine does baseball camps there and one of the other brother posts stuff in Swedish.

Don’t think you are getting the point bud. He is rooting for the pole vaulter representing America. Like every American should.

I guess if the truth hurts, it’s a troll? Don’t think so.
