well this is a big win for them considering how many did not want her to get a Lithuanian passport,since we have been burnt with this in the past.[Isabelle Tobias]
I wonder if there is some drawback to this, we'll see I guess, but this sounds like an excellent change I think? I remember Acosta in Paris, that was....not amazing
writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy
earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis)
now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship
now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)
this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians
but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)
for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate
