Front page article on Sports Illustrated a couple days ago about Simmons:

Gordon Liddy,

I am a Kiwi so why would I care about him been Australian. Assuming is risky business mate.

I'm just comparing him to Steve Adams who everyone knew was a Kiwi and the US media "sold" him on that basis.

It just seems the US don't want to do that in this situation given Simmons in no.1 big dog and they can't handle having an "overseas player" as the face of their high school/college game.

Saw an ESPN segment about it. Is it just me or does the American media try to hide the fact that he is Australian?

Plays the point?
