This is just sad; I don't even know what channel aired this (if it's America's or not) but I feel secondhand embarrassment just looking at this from how desperate this is.

    This some sense, but not that much sense - it doesn’t matter if your country has a hundred thousand people or a billion, there’s only so many events, and a maximum number of athletes per country per event that can be sent. Sure, a larger population increases the chances that a talent can be identified and trained, but peak human performance only has so much variance.

      true, except

      crackers never take into account "resources per capita" or "food/land per capita" because it would demolish their narrative
