I'm American - die hard patriotic - but I didn't swell with more pride because an American won. I was excited for my FAVORITE to win. Country doesn't matter (nor should it, IMHO, a COUNTRY does not make one great.)
:thumbsup: Tell me about it.
Look, be happy for Evan, be happy that your favourite won, but acting like he did some great service to all Americans? A little much...
I am Canadian and I die a little everytime Patrick Chan wins something. I root for people, not countries, and quite frankly, I completely don't get the mindset of those who root country first. But to each his/her own, I guess..
