    Ah yes, this guy again. RG3 will be pouring over all his videos to get himself up to Olympic standard

    In MS for London 2012, Oceania would have been easiest to qualify in MS as no one took the spot.
    The "region continent" that USA is under is "pan am", so it is not Canada only to worry about you have south american players like Kevin cordon who were/are miles ahead in talent.

    Pan Am - is the region! - That's tough. According to the Pan-Am site, there are 10 players in the top 200 in the World and 3 US players in the Top 100. That would be tough for new player to reach that level in 4-6 years of training.

    I would say best way for RG3 is to buy a ticket or maybe try the bobsled team in the winter olympics.

    If American football was an Olympic sport, he still couldn't represent the USA in the Olympics, because there are plenty of QBs way better than him.

    RGIII the one year wonder needs to win more matches for 'skins' and/or focused on keeping his job with the 'skins' instead of belittling ping-pong and badminton. His knees would buckled on the first drop shot from any female players. This boy is soft and loves cheap publicity.

    Now, I could only think of several NFL boys who could play badminton ..... nah.

    Yeah, he's got all kinds of problems with his team to worry about the Olympics. It would have been interesting to see a top class athlete trying to learn a new sport.
