This arguement is retarded, both sides are being idiots.
EAST AFRICANS(not all great african runners are kenyan, try ethiopia and even somolia) have a right to run here. I mean if your a company you want to dish out you money to top prefomers, an who blames the east africans for accepting a shit ton more money in one week then theyve ever had.
Second, the reason why Amerians are so highly touted is bcause we are in THE UNITED STATES. So they are our home team, and when your home team keeps getting slaughtered, its a HUGE deal to see little rays of sunshine(no homo) like Sol, Ritz, Webb etc
