Their geographical location has nothing to do with my support for them. I could just as easily support Real Madrid or Bayern Munich if I wanted. Because I don't support Real Madrid, doesn't mean I have anything against the nation of Spain. If I was to support Bayern Munich that doesn't necessarily mean I endorse the nation of Germany, Does it?

Those Olympic medals for a foreign country (Ireland) are now tainted, He never won anything at world championship level, He will never win anything at professional level Would't last 5 sec in the ring with Roman Gonzalez I wonder would the British disown McIlroy for accepting the RTE sports personality of the year award. It is absolutely pathetic that people in Ireland still feel this way about these sort of situations.

If you are going to be a traitor at least stick with the side you betrayed your country for, McIlroy wants to be a member of the British empire, then wants to rep for Ireland in the Olympics? If you are going to turn your back, at least keep it turned.

You obviously don't care about Ireland, Being Irish means nothing to you. Why not just be British right? Who cares about the people who died fighting for Irish independence, that was all just a good laugh. Right?
