Bradley Burston: Dual loyalty, baseball, and the Israeli psyche
Talkback
Title:Ungrateful!
Name:Rob
City: HashmonaimState: Israel
Fact: If you were born in the US and spent most of your life living there and then choose to move to Israel-you are and will always be an "American" oleh. Instead of trying to hide that part of his heritage, Freeman should try embracing it. Once the schools and army get through with his kids the "stigma" will be erased. I`m willing to bet that the country that Brian is so eager to forget probably treated him and his predecessors pretty hospitably. Nevertheless, If he really wants to cut his ties, let him put his money where his mouth is and give up his U.S. citizenship. Otherwise, he should put a lid on it and sit back and enjoy the game.
