Other than Fed or Davis Cup, players don't compete under any nationality anyway. Simply competing for themselves.
That said, she is British. |

You shouldn't be allowed to chop and change as it suits. Obviously financial decision on her part. If i lived in England i would not feel any loyalty to her. She's Australian. It's the same in athletics there's a fair few american women sprinters claiming to be British. Not right imo and the way the media are fawning over it is wrong. Money should not be a reason to change allegiance but it seems it is. Wrong way to go but as long as they are winning it seems everyone is happy.

What about Jack Grealish ? Had one month of outstanding footy last year, pressurized to declare for England, now his Footy career has been hung out to dry by the FA.

Jack Grealish could have declared for us. ROI. I'm actually he didn't because he was a prik about it. However this stuff is different. England are picking off and claiming sport stars due to money incentives. It's wrong and the media should not be bigging them up.

JG was developed through Irish Under age system, ( obviously overlooked by the FA ) then JG grabs a few headlines in Cup run last year. then lazy FA step in, he's ours thank you very much. Agree with you, he left it too late to declare either way. Career in the Championship looming because of it unfortunetely, me thinks.

British athletes should be renamed anyone who has money to re locate here. Lord Coe of athletic's and the rest tainted cunnnts. Claiming athlete's just get back to basic's and find your own.

England are claiming no one.
She lived in Britain since she was 11, so Konta is entitled to British citizenship. Indeed she received LTA funding, but that funding was dropped Konta now trains in Spain. If she was that fickle about her nationality surely she would have switched again. As for the BBC "claiming" Conor McGregor it was one donk messing up a news report, not some kind of underlying conspiracy. Get a grip please. |

At least she looks English.

"I love watching Mo Farah beating off all those Africans"
An unfortunate turn of phrase. |

Konta played a very decent tournament, and probably took a few too many scalps to be anointed with the title 'Plucky British Loser'.
That's an honour normally reserved for a Brit who makes a first/second round exit against a higher-ranked player, having only gained entry to the tournament in the first place via the 'wildcard' route. Fingers crossed my old school chum Naomi Wacaday will be back this Summer to rock our world again at SW19. |
