I think the point of it was he's Kenyan, so he should be on Kenya's side, not America's.

i really just believe that if your born in the country or take up citizen ship you should be working hard for the country you call home...i'm not mad about lack of patritism but i just think it's false representation, if your born in a certain country you should strive to make YOUR county proud, not your heritage...unless you have multiple citizenships, then legallly what ever country you belong to you have that extra chance to play for that other country ^_^
but sports is sports and an olympic medal means your one of the best in the entire world ^_^, so IMO it's worth more than any stanly cup or grey cup...but if your a proffesional athlete it would work at to make your career even better...

I hate to break it to that guy but unless your native-amerikan (like the Iroquois and other tribes) you're from somewhere else. Amerika was started and built from people from all kinds of foreign countries. Amerika was made a super power by the blood sweat and tears of many races and nationalities.

Sorry Aoi, but you completely missed that guy's point, NOT SAYING I AGREE WITH IT, but he said that you should only play for the country you're born in.
Which basically makes everything you said irrelevant.
And didn't the Native Americans come from Asia on the land bridge?

lol go team asia...0.o...nvm apparently human race started somewhere in africa...so infact we would all be african 0.o
you belong to the country you belong too, thats your nationality...which is different from race ^_^...you should play for your born nationality, and i don't see what's wrong with that 0.o
