[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we’ve evolved past the nationalistic aspect of the Olympics ([b]it’s kind of gross now to chant “USA, USA”[/b]) and most just want to see great competition and sportsmanship, no matter the nationalities of the athletes involved.[/quote] How is that gross? [/quote] It’s crass jingoism that belongs to a worse time in the county’s history. Given the US elected a wannabe dictator 4 years ago, half the population still won’t acknowledge they lost, and they supported and insurrection in January, I think we have a very long way to go before we can chant USA again. I’ll still cheer on all individual athletes to do their best, but I’m not going to make this into some test of patriotic zeal.[/quote] This is not a widely held belief.[/quote]
