America loves the Olympics

This is a comedy quote but at the same time their is alot of truth to this. This is the time when people get to sit at home and root against their least favorite country whether it becasue of a past war or just a dislike of someone they know who's origin is from that country. I'm sure alot of folks will find themselves rooting against the russians from what happened in the 1980 Olympics or the dislike that some people have for Canadians just from watching the cartoon show "South Park". For whatever reason Americans, where ever they are from, have at one point rooted against another country because of what we have always heard growing up that America is the greatest country. Our competativeness is also something to look at. Growing up and even as an adult there has been at least one time where we have tried harder to exceed at something and even gloat a little about our accomplishment. And with those two things we put them together and want nothing more than to see America dominate the competition and see our flag at the highest tier waving proudly. Some call it foolishness to root so hard against another country but others call it patriotic.
