Analysis:  It's a good thing Senator McCarthy died in 1957 because Golden Girls manager Theresa Yerger is clearly a Communist.  She picked Chinese teams in the first three rounds, and probably only picked South Korea in round 4 because she thinks it should be Communist too and has a cardboard cutout of Kim Jong-il in her living room.  Any remaining doubts were dispelled a bit later when she tried to draft the USSR.

Political ideology aside, Golden Girls a decent team.  China diving, weightlifting, and shooting are all historic powers which rank first in their sports.  China shooting is a good value with the overall #12 pick as I had them ranked eighth.  To win, Golden Girls will require Argentina men's basketball to repeat its 2004 gold medal - a longshot this time around.
