National Identity 2

It doesn’t matter who wins – it only matter how the US does.  Just listen to the commentators.

Of course, if the US won, it’d be a different situation.  It’s funny to me though that the strong sense of National Identity and mind.  I’m watching the Olympics – Norway just won and the US got silver – and basically the commentator says – Norway has been here before – but then spends more time talking about how no American has ever stood on the podium and got a medal.  You are your country.  It is a part of your identity; a valuable part of your essential self.  Or is it?
