Annals of Russian Hypocrisy
The St. Petersburg Times reports that two-faced Russia will field a player on its Davis Cup tennis team, Dmitry Tursunov, who resides in California and considers himself 50% American. Similarly, Russia has repeatedly begged Maria Sharapova, who speaks English on the court and owns plenty of expensive American real estate, to play for its Fed Cup team. Wouldn't it be nice if Russians were as flexible in deciding who is "Russian" when it comes to race relations? Dream on.
