I have no problem with Becky playing for the Soviets, because she clearly knows where her heart is:

"Will I be playing for Russia? Yes. But I'm absolutely 100 percent still an American. I love our country. I love what we stand for. This is an opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing in the Olympics."

Essentially, she was moonlighting with a Russian professional team and couldn't attend the tryouts for the US team, not that she was expected to make it because while she's better than the best Russian players she's not among the elite in the US.
It would be ironic if it took an American to get the women's Russian team back into the medal hunt. I would think you would be embarrassed by and not proud of that fact.
