I am reading a lot about how Bernard Lagat and KK are real Americans and, in the case of one poster in another thread discussing Lagat, how Lagat is more of an American than those of us born and raised here in America because he "did more" to get citizenship.
Now, just to get this out of the way, I am thrilled as anyone that Lagat and KK are in America training and living the good life. I do think it is wrong that they are allowed to compete for the United States, but by all means let them live here like the ballers they are.
What I am curious about - for those who support Lagat's "right" to compete for the Stars and Bars - is how you would feel if we went further and recruited for other national teams? What if we get some Brazilians to pass the citizenship test and then rock out for Uncle Sam at the World Cup? What if some other countries started doing the same and the the 6 Nations rugby match between England and France turned into and exhibition between hired guns from New Zealand and Australia?
Why do these Letsrunners hate international sports so much?
