[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 578509, member: 61962"] Ya know, it may be an 'American' thing. Many Americans - regardless of how long their families have been in this country - don't consider themselves American by blood. Many distinguish themselves by ancestry - African-American, Jewish-American, Irish-American, Italian-American, Mexican-American, Chinese-American, etc. Not everyone uses those labels, of course, but for many US Amercans if asked what their [U]ethnicity[/U] was they would not say 'American', but would tell you their European, Asian, African, or Latino background. Even with my family having lived here for at least 3 generations, I don't consider myself a 'full-blooded' American. For the most part the only ones who are considered such are Native Americans. So (hypothetically), for some Americans, given the choice to play for America or to play for the country their ancestors came from, they may quickly choose the latter depending on whether their ethnic pride is stronger than their nationalistic pride. das [/QUOTE]
