What do you Yanks think?

I have to confess that I find such behaviour inexplicable, if not 
reprehensible.

"Because I'm not good enough for my own country's squad, I'll join

Perhaps, if she returns to the States she will be able to defend and 
explain her adopted country's recent actions.

Does she still have an American passport?
