1. I must say, I keep wondering why she decided to go play for Russia

in the first place?

While I am glad that she was returned, I feel wonder if the sort of celebrity bubble thing somehow allowed her to think it was ok to bring those meds with her.

I know she is young, but is nobody advising these young players about what they can bring with them or the risks that they take going to nations with authoritarian regimes?

I think about that poor kid who was returned to die from North Korea. After huge efforts. Wasn’t he with some Christian group?

What possess people to take these risks? We’re are the elders advising them?

I am an elder now, so I am thinking a lot about the responsibility that we have to guide those younger in our professions.

When I was young I listed to those 40+ years older than me, are these young people not listening or are elders not advising?
