From CNBC:
It's a stunning headline: American Wins Men's NYC Marathon For First Time Since '82.Yeah, he's only "technically" an American because he's only "technically" been a citizen since 1998.
Unfortunately, it's not as good as it sounds.
Meb Keflezighi, who won yesterday in New York, is technically American by virtue of him becoming a citizen in 1998, but the fact that he's not American-born takes away from the magnitude of the achievement the headline implies.
Kefleighi was born in Eritrea.
As with CBS late night talk show host, Craig Fergusion, he is American on Purpose.
