Good for Becky! I'm glad she has decided to do this. Olympics has always been about politics, but that is changing. What is also changing, is how each and every human being on this planet must practice self reflection prior to making any judgemental prejudice remarks toward anyone else, anywhere, This is a statement for global equal human rights for humanity, and not treason for the perpetuation of an American global competition. Good for you Becky! I hope millions of young girls are looking up to your leadership!

Gimme a break. People have been crossong borders to participate in the Olympics and other interntational competitions for decades. Brett Hull is Canadian born but was cut by the Canadian national team as a young player. Since his mom is American born he qualified to play for team USA. Even when he became a star and could have played for Team Canada he refused. He always appreciated the opportunity Team USA offered so he could develop as a player, hence he was a member of USA's 1996 World Cup Championship team. Canadian fans booed him and they were wrong. People should respect his loyalty. Mike Piazza was not invited to play for Team USA in the World Cup of Baseball so he accepted an invitation to play for Team Italy, along with many other American born players of Italian heritage. Piazza had already visited Italy in the off-season to promote baseball and this was another opportunity to do just that. Nobody called the future Hall of Famer a traitor, because he is not. Take a look at the roster for Ireland's national lacrosse team (yes lacrosse....a great North American sport). All guys of Irish decent born in the NE of USA. Great players, great Americans, that did not make Team USA. If team USA invited Becky Hammon to play and she refused, especially for some type of financial offer then fine, question her charater. The facts being what they are I wish her best of luck winning a silver medal ;

you people are missing the whole point of the olympics...its not just to represent the sport that you love to play, but to represent your country!..that said, if youre changing your citizenship just to play in the olympics, then wheres the essence of representing your country???

What is it with Anne Donovan and Becky Hammon? I truly recent her calling Becky a traitor. Becky is one of the top plyayers in the WNBA and all she wants is to live her life dream of playing in the Olympics. With her amazing record she should have been of the first guards chosen to try out for the USA team. Her shirt is the second most sold and she is highly respected by her team and fans. I am a retired disabled veteran of Desert Shield/Desert Storm and we take the word treason to heart. It is not a word to be thrown around without just cost. As a true San Antonian, we are proud of our teams whether they win or lose. Perhaps Anne Donavan should be removed as the USA Womens Olympic coach. She has opened a can of worms that will be hard to close. Anne should check the true meaning of the word traitor. She might even see a picture of herself. There are other USA players who play for other countries during the Olympics, are they traitors in Donovan's mind? Anne Donovans comments are only making her look foolish. I had little respect for her in the past and now I have no respect for her. Anne Donovan, you should be and ashamed to call herself an American citizen. Becky deserves a world-wide apology for your comment, but I do not believe that you are woman enough to even do that

We at title9guy.com have taken the stand that Becky can play Basketball for any one that want her services. The USA team and Anne did not ask her to play for the USA team. Becky and other WNBA players make more money playing in Europe, Russia, Japan, and other countries, in one year than they do in several years playing for the WNBA. One NBA player on almost any NBA Team will make more money in one year than a WNBA player will make in Ten years in the WNBA. Becky Hammon is free to sell her services to any team or country will to step up to the big money window. We say go for the Gold, Silver, or green money Becky. You are a free American women.
