It has never had anything to do with skin color. It has had everything to do with common sense, which is a rare commodity here.

OK, I see what people are saying- an American born (or perhaps someone who came here at a very young age like Meb?) went through the US system of high school, likely college then turned pro.

It's different than someone moving here for college and staying. But they're still American citizens and, having achieved citizenship the way they did, actually know more about our nation than the over 50% of adults who read below a 5th grade level and everyone who, the day after the 2024 election Googled: What is a tariff and can I change my vote?

An American team should largely be American runners.

Okay so he gets medals on Sunday and in an ice facilty by Tuesday Got it.

like your dirty brain.

Call the tip line. You can fulfill your dream and send ICE after minorities.

This board hates brown people. Let’s see yall keep this same gate keeping patriotism for white non-America born American athletes like Grant Fisher and Charles Hicks.

Until he can run faster than Khannouchi did 20 some years ago, this isn't a "MAJOR" story.

Fisher is part Hispanic. Moran
