i got to thinking about it and i realized the flaw in their logic. each and every nation in the EU got to send a full squad to the olympics to compete. if the US sent a full squad from each state of the union, might the results be a little different?

There wouldn't be much of a difference if the US fielded 50 teams or 1 team. Only the best of the best make it onto that one team, so they are the ones who have a shot at the gold. If there are another 49 average athletes from other states who don't make it onto the field, it doesn't matter. They would have lost anyway.
