And what is also funny is that many of the players that are from other countries, played ball in the United States under other NF or NCAA rules. So even if you have a player that might technically be from another country, they played their college ball if in the United States.

Also for the record, every NBA All-Star Starter except one was from this country. There were only 3 total All-Stars in that were from other countries and did not play high school ball in the United States. So whatever the rules are in the NCAA or NF, must not be hurting them much.
