Leo, con todo respeto (with all due respect), you should be proud of your accomplishment. You deserve it. But when you're an Olympic athlete, you don't get to have your cake and eat it, too. Sooner or later, you have to choose which country you're going to represent. And you did. You made that choice, when you put on the jersey for Team USA.
It wasn't unlike the choice your parents made when they chose the United States over Mexico a quarter century ago. They voted with their feet. It would be nice if you haven't left your heart behind.

You wish he hadn't done that. Was that to allow you to continue turning a blind eye?
I'm glad he revealed himself as the ungrateful scorpion, maybe more people will wake up and look behind that tio taco facade.
