Meb’s the epitome of an American. It’s terrible that idiots like Rovell think like that.

haha @ maria.
Not as a sarcastic comment, but sincerely: I would like to know if Germans, Italians, French, English, Russian, etc.-Americans have this happen to them? Granted there’s even beef with Irish, Italians, Polish… well everyone, but would they be as accepted or accepted conditionally? No passive, insinuating suggestion: I really would like to know!

He is labeled American because he won the marathon but had he robbed a bank or been involved in some illegal stuff..the headlines would read “Eritrean man..blah blah blah”. “Technically” he is Eritrean…until he screws up.

You should see the comments that people wrote under his article/blog (whatever):

” BigMattyC | Nov 2, 2009 05:07 PM ET
He’s technically an American like you’re technically an a$$hole.”

…Couldn’t have summed it up better myself.

He just earned a spot on my “List of People I Want to Punch In the Face”, right between Lou Dobbs and Ashton Kutcher.

Darren Rovell should try out for the Eritrean national team. Oh, wait…he’s white and thus more than likely to possesses less than stellar marathoning skills. Also, you weren’t born in the USA? I could have sworn you looked like you were from western Ohio.
