Bradley Burston: Dual loyalty, baseball, and the Israeli psyche
Talkback
Title:Exporting the American revolution
Name:Joe Sittizen
City: JerusalemState: Israel
Israel is among the nations who have successfully adopted another great Americanism - basketball. In fact, I`d say that hoops is much more successful in Israel than soccer is (or may every will be, unless the soccer federation guys learn some baseball to help their management and development skills).
And, for all those nay sayers above, basketball is a foreign activity transplanted from abroad.
So does Oleh Vatik stick by his guns and boycott basketball games here?
