All in the Q Really.
The world really is a small place now.
A person can be born in one country, to parents who can be from two others & grandparents from a completley different 4.
Then they emmigrate somewhere else !!!
By most sports rules you can play for your country of birth, country of residence or parents/ grandparents counrty of birth.
If you have played for country A should you then for whatever reason (most common emmigration/ residency) then be allowed to play for B?
Surely representing your country should not be for personal success or glory - but pride, passion & 101% heart "for your country & the jersey" where you shed a tear whilst singing yor anthem.
Another point - Can a multi national player really be impartial?

Sorry, I don't mean representing two at same time I don't think any sport allows that.
But say you represent country A for a few years and are then eligle to play with country B (by residency, parental rights etc) or whatever
Either:
Country A are small & not rated in your sport but your new country B are bigger & better and you can change to B
OR
Your good at whatever you do and both your old (A) & new (B) country want you OR
You get dumped from country A but you could play for country B.
