I don't know what kind of retard would identify with a specific group of athletes just because they happened to be born within a few hundred miles of them.
The US is not competing in the Olympics.
France is not competing in the Olympics.
Australia is not competing in the Olympics.


I'm sorry, but wtf? How is a bad thing to root for your country's team to do well in the Olympics? I know that a number of people have issues with sport being over glorified, and I agree that it's the case with football and other such 'popular' sports that are ruled by insane pay packets and ridiculous sponsorship money. But these people train their guts out for years to compete in these games, for little or no money, and deserve the accolades when they do well, especially if they do so in a sportsmanlike manner.

All power to them, and all power to the supporters who cheer them on. I'm sad I haven't been able to watch as much as I'd like this Olympics due to them being on during the working day for the most part. I love the thrill of a close finish when the athlete from your country triumphs where it wasn't expected they would or could.

I feel sorry that you can't enjoy the Olympics for what they should be, which is a gathering of nations for pure competition in good spirit (doesn't always end up that way, and there's a lot of political guff surrounding it these days, but at the core that's what it's all about).
