I have something to say to those of you who don't want to accept Bernard Lagat is an American Citizen:
I would rather claim him as an American than Sade Williams. At least Mr. Lagat speaks gramatically correct English, has a sense of pride that he is representing our country now, and has better values than Ms. Williams. I would also argue he knows more about the History of this Nation than Ms. Williams ever bothered/cared to learn and realizes that we should not take our basic rights as Americans for granted.
I would much rather see him wearing US Gear on the Medal stand and representing our country with pride than some ignorant idiot who would probably throw down a gang signal.
We all need to think about what it REALLY means to be an American.
