Perhaps, in order to succeed, we will need to get more "foreign" stars to play for us, much as what happens in the Olympics.
Our star was born in the US because his mother was too far along to get on the plane home. I believed he lived in the US for a month.
We are lucky that the law still allows him to be an American citizen.

So, do you expect India and China to be the top of every sport because of their large populations. That simply isn't how it works.

Norway holds the record for the most gold medals in Winter Olympics history, capturing 166 all-time golds. The United States ranks second with 125, followed by Germany with 120. [1]
