Adonal Foyle: American
Everyone here at SSTOL congratulates longtime Golden State Warriors center Adonal Foyle, who today became a naturalized citizen of these United States.
Unlike many pro athletes these days, Foyle is a genuine role model — an all-around good guy who's active in charitable causes and enjoys a spotless reputation both as a player and as a human being. He's a magna cum laude graduate of Colgate University, and is pursuing a master's degree in sports psychology at John F. Kennedy University.
Six years ago, Foyle founded Democracy Matters, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that "gives college students a voice in the pro-democracy movement, and an active role in the national dialogue on money in politics." He has twice won the NBA's Community Assist Award for his efforts to serve and enlighten young people.
I'm delighted to call Adonal my countryman. We could use a few thousand more just like him.
This, alongside Golden State's snapping of the Dallas Mavericks' 17-game winning streak last night, makes me proud once again to be a Warrior Worrier.

Hey SSTOL-
Found your blog by accident while looking for a giants logo image. I love it, well done it's a great looking site. Brought back memories of my days as a Warrior fan... WAAAY Back when I lived in P-town and the Warriors were still in the Big Three years. I still have a jacket with the old logo on it...
I'm going to add you as a link on my blog so I can keep up... Good work!
