Sport people aren't representing their countries, they're presenting their ego at taxpayers' expense !

The Greeks believed that sport was important that's why they invented the olympics and philosophy.

The Greeks rewarded the winners with dracmas and consoled the losers with philosophy.

David F-

Your ancestors from memory- "The Hebrew's" did attempt to defend Jerusalem fairly well but yet they don't seem to have a good reputation in sport. But the Greek's started the Olympics before 70AD. I suspect that Judea considered The Greek's a competing and perhaps an allied power. Your view seems consistent with the Hebrew diaspora and I don't hold it against you- not that you care or should care what I think. It's interesting that secular Hebrews are still Hebrews just as secular Christian's are still Christian's.
