E-mail record corrector: Hi K.Lo! I just wanted to comment on the A-Rod/pick-a-country thing. I think the big issue about A-Rod is that he’s playing for the Dominican Republic, but he was born in the USA. If an American goes to Europe for a few years then it makes perfect sense to retain their American loyalty. When Manu Ginobili, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, competed for Argentina in the Olympics, it made sense, because that’s where he was born and raised. But someone who not only has been in this country for years and years, but was even born here, representing another country? That just seems wrong. UPDATE: Another: “Don’t back down, Kathryn. Of course foreign players may play in our pro leagues. That’s a strawman. The issue with A-Rod is his dual citizenship. He should have to renounce his American citizenship if he wants to play for the Domincan Republic. “
