over here in detroit, things get heated.
the olympics have made me very sad. here in hockeytown, everyone hates the candians because they beat us and detroit is big big big for hockey. it's even worse because we're so close to canada, there's tons of canadians here too. oh, and the fact that the detroit red wings are NOT mostly made up of americans... mostly canadians and russians, duh.
so why am i sad? because people are disgusting. they get all up in arms because so and so beat us and that country sucks and crosby can suck a dick blah blah. i'm just tired of it. i don't even know who this crosby guy is... and what did he do? he won? oh yeah, good reason to be mad?
i've never understood sports in the least. why do you want to create something that does nothing but make you hate someone else? at MSU people would riot all the time when they were pissed that they lost (or happy that they won?) and people would get hurt. cars would be overturned, shit would get lit on fire, and tons of people would be trampled. stupid stupid stupid.
my country winning or losing has absolutely no effect on me personally. apollo ono's gold medal doesn't mean shit to me. i'm happy for him, but i'm also happy for everyone who brought home a medal no matter where they're from. they work really hard to achieve that. i hate watching the olympics because i hate the looks on the faces of the people who fumble or trip and you just know, they're completely crushed. they work so hard and it all came down to that one mistake they'll replay in their head for a long time to come.
i really try to have national pride, but it's hard for me. i don't feel that being an american makes me any better than anyone else. i just wish we could throw all of the borders away and truly become world citizens. to create that line between "us" and "them" does nothing but keep us from being truly united.
sports, what a stupid reason to feel that you're better than someone else. i mean, unless you're actually that athlete that won the gold medal. then yeah, you are better than everyone else. lol.
