Afro-Germerican™ of the Moment: Terrence Boyd

Who is Terrence Boyd? Oh you know just another member of the nü wäve of young Afro-Germericans™ that is doing his thing in Deutschland. Things like scoring 6 goals in 6 games for the Borussia Dortmund reserve team. It may only be the reserves but since the only other striker on the planet with an American passport and club form like that right now is Jozy Altidore I'm going to big him up.

I think I may start an absurd, über-niche blog that's like Yanks Abroad but it only covers players in Germany who are the offspring of African-American servicemen and the local fräulein. Yes, it would be stupid but there would actually be a shocking amount of source material with the key subjects being:

• Jerome Kiesewetter (forward, Hertha Berlin)
• Tim Chandler (defender, FC Nurnberg)
• Jermaine Jones (midfiedler, Schalke 04)
• David Yelldell (keeper, Bayer Leverkusen)
• Fabian Johnson (forward, Hoffenheim)
• Terrence Boyd (forward, Dortmund)
• John Anthony Brooks (defender, Hertha Berlin)
• Danny Williams (defender, Hoffenheim)

That's enough guys to fill a bench so it's damn sure enough guys to fill a blog that I'll never actually produce. And with 50+ U.S. military installations on German soil I'm sure there's a few more kids coming down the pike. So you see, Red Dawn wasn't the only cool thing that the Cold War gave us.
