Okposo was born to a Nigerian father and a us-american mother. His father immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager, and eventually earned a Ph.D. His family currently resides in Minnesota, where Okposo grew up.... Wikipedia

Sounds like another guy who's father was from an African country and earned a Ph.D. Don't you think at a possible White House ceremony where they are being congratulated that this would be great. Also factor in minority kids that have hockey ambitions as well as the fact that KO is a heck of a competitor.

Since his father is Nigerian maybe you could push to have him play for their team?

How do people let this even become an issue? Exhaustive Political correctness and pouring over the minutiae of every word said has gotten so boring.
