There's no way he didn't know what he was doing with that comment.
Was it intentional? Does it matter?
Discus.

I have ZERO idea what you are talking about when you wrote, "there is no way he didn't know what he was doing with that comment". What do you mean? The only thing I can think of is accurately describing the race near perfectly. What are you implying? Did you watch the race? Her legs are way longer than the poles.

Please don't make this some type of fake Allie Ostrander controversy where you say no one can say anything about a woman's body and then Allie got on tv herself and the first thing she said was something about one of her teammates body.

What is Irish DNA then?

Why don't you spit on a cotton swab and send it off to 23 and me see how you do.

That bit of paper might tell you you're 80% or even 100% Irish or whatever but you're not as Irish as Rashidat Adeleke no matter how much you might wish to be.

She was born between the canals in the rotunda.

She grew up eating Tayto and watching the Sunday game.

She thinks the late late toyshow is rubbish and is glad that tubs is gone.

She understands what i mean when i call you a gowl

She knows that i am a culchie

She wears the Irish vest and brings joy to her nation

She is Irish.

You're forgetting that she was a put on the map by an American track team and trains in Texas.

No I’m not, I’m fully aware of her time in Austin. Lots of Irish have used the American collegiate system.

What's an Irish name? How about Sinead O'Connor?
Rhasidat Adeleke was born and raised in Ireland and so is legit Irish.
Her name is Nigerian, reflecting the roots of her parents.
My name isn't O'Connor. Am I not Irish then?
I'm not a Murphy or a McCarthy am I less Irish?
I'm not Paddy or Mick Either
Whats an American Name then? Jackson? Washington? are you allowed names outside of these?
Should all the Brits Be Tommy Smith maybe the Welsh are Taffy O'Jones and the Scottish Jock McSporren.
What nonsense.
And some dude telling the people of Ireland how they should name their kids is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
If Rashidat's parents want to honour her Nigerian heritage though her name is it any different to an Irish American calling their daugher Saoirse or Erin?
The biggest difference is little Saoirse and Erin are American and Rashidat is Irish

That's insane.

Rashidat is not an Irish name. It's an Arabic name.

Adeleke is not an Irish name. It's Nigerian.

I noted she is Irish. Born and bred.

Her name is not

Yes, she literally could not be any more Irish then she already is.

Not if she had a different name. Not if her parents came from a different place.

That is the point.

I have no doubt she is proud of her Nigerian heritage the same way that many Irish Americans are proud of theirs but luckily for us she wears the green of Ireland on race day not the green of Nigeria because she is a Proud Irishwoman

Nice non-answer, but I'll play along. Assume all of that is correct. Born there, raised there, native accent, whatever else you want to come up with. You know and everyone else knows that precisely zero commentators are going to make reference to his Kenyan legs or his Kenyan anything else.

It only works the other way around. Is what it is. Sorry, not sorry, to destroy your delusional world view.

DNA? Except for the relatively small indigenous populations, everyone in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have genetic origins elsewhere.

So, according to you, virtually nobody is an American, Canadian, Australian or New Zealander.

What?

I merely noted that there is such a thing as DNA. Everyone has it.

No idea what your reply has to do with that

Of course DNA is real BUT Ireland is a country and Irish is a nationality.

By every metric imaginable, Adeleke IS Irish.

Yeah. It's one of those weird things. Americans and their inferiority complex. It is hilarious that people in Brooklyn who are born in Brooklyn, have never left Brooklyn, speak no Italian, yet think of and call themselves Italian Americans.
Maybe because they are, in fact, Italian-Americans?

Thus there are no American- Americans, since they all migrtated from somewhere else.??

If you go far enough back, even they would have genetic originis elsewhere

No. James Watson one of the two men who who are attributed with the discovery of DNA particularly the double Helix and has roots in County Tipperary but that man was an American he was not Irish.

Rashidat Adeleke is Irish.

DNA has nothing to do with it.
