What's wrong with a little blind patriotism? I'm not saying I can't appreciate another country's accomplishments -- like say appreciating Derek Jeter or A-Rod -- but if they are going up against my team I want them to go down and go down hard. Just like I wouldn't mind seeing every guy on the Yankees pull a hamstring, same thing with the Olympics. It's sports. If I'm watching Latvia versus Argentina in team handball I can enjoy the matchup, but I want the USA to win everything. They're my team.
