No one is asking anyone to change their culture, but for all that America gave a guy like A-Rod, would it kill him to return the favor and put on the USA's uniform in this tournament?
They were Dominican neighborhoods, but:
Who built the house that A-Rod grew up in? American architects...
Who built A-Rod's high school? American contractors...
Who payed for A-Rod education? American tax payers...
Who secured the streets A-Rod lived on? American police officers...
Who secured the country A-Rod grew up in? American soldiers...
Would be too much to ask for A-Rod to return the favor? I don't care what color his skin is. What country has had the most positive effect on his life?
Everyone ask yourself these questions.
