Add NFL<\/a> MVP Boomer Esiason to the list of Americans who are not fans of Eileen Gu.<\/p>\n

Gu, the Olympic<\/a> medal-winning skier who was born and raised in the United States but has represented China, her mother’s native country, in international competition, has become a topic of debate again after her performance at Milan Cortina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reported last week that Gu and Zhu Yi, a fellow American-born figure skater who now competes for China, were paid a combined $6.6 million by the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau in 2025 for “striving for excellent results in qualifying for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics.” In all, the two were reportedly paid nearly $14 million over the past three years.<\/p>\n

That information was much to the chagrin of the former NFL quarterback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Chinese government paid her a lot of money. It\u2019s kinda funny that a communist country would pay a woman to be propaganda as a capitalist,” Esiason said on the “Boomer and Gio” show Tuesday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She\u2019s a very attractive woman and she\u2019s extremely bright. She went to Stanford. But if you listen to her post-participation interviews, she\u2019s insufferable. She is. It\u2019s hard to listen to. But then again, it\u2019s an individual sport by an individual person talking about herself, as opposed to talking about her teammates or the support that she receives. If you listen to her, you’re like, \u2018what?\u2019”<\/p>\n

Esiason and his cohost, Gregg Gianotti, both scoffed at the fact a reporter praised her for seemingly always having the right answers to questions.<\/p>\n

“They didn\u2019t ask her about the communist government of China,” Esiason quipped. “But the thing about her is, I will say this, she\u2019s exceptionally bright. She has her answers, she knows how she\u2019s gonna answer things, that\u2019s for sure. But nobody\u2019s really asked her a tough question.”<\/p>\n

Gu, already the most decorated freestyle skier in Olympic history, took home a gold medal<\/a> in her final event of the Olympics on Sunday. In the women\u2019s freeski halfpipe event, Gu scored 94.75 \u2013 just 0.75 points better than her second run. Nobody came close to touching her mark.<\/p>\n

She finished her run at the Milan Cortina Games with three total medals \u2013 the gold in the halfpipe event and silvers in big air<\/a> and slopestyle. She has six medals on her resume.<\/p>\n
