Diaspora Matters

11/30/2022

I AM ROUTING FOR TEAM USA, but I must admit that these villagers from the African Continent, the Motherland, do have a point that's worthy of consideration.

By the way, notwithstanding the much smaller population of the Caribbean, we can find and have found a good number of players of Caribbean birth or parentage on the major North American, European and other teams.

France takes the trophy, when it comes to having a top notch roster of players of African origin. However, I much prefer being able to make light of this reality, as opposed to hearing that Belgium is home to the best chocolates of the world, although there's not even a single cocoa plant ("cocoa tree", as a Grenadian or Trini will say it) growing in Belgium.
