Well, I'm Korean, so... But I do sometimes feel torn in a match between a Korean athlete(s) and another athlete(s) I personally like, i.e.) Sun Won vs. Taehwan Park or the British soccer team vs. the Korean team
Actually, Freedom, Tolerance, Importance of the Individual, Supremacy of reason and Pride are what make America great. However, when it comes to the Olympics we cheer for our own. Not against them. Move to France if you want to cheer for the underdog!
To all those talking s**t about those of us who answered yes, I say learn to think for yourselves. I am as proud of our athletes as you are, but sometimes I root for an underdog. Others may be rooting for someone from their homeland or who inspires them. Diversity is what makes America great!
This is coming from someone who has never rooted for an athlete competing against an American athlete. Not everyone was born here, boo-boo. And Democrats tend to be more culturally diverse than Republicans.
I rooted for Sun yesterday in the 1500m. For some unknown reason they told everyone to stand up instead of the starting buzzer and he jumped in. I thought it was unfair so I rooted for him and he beat his own WR by over three seconds.
The Argentinian basketball team when they won the gold medal. Manu Ginobli is one of my favorite players. And I'll be rooting for the double amputee from South Africa this year!
