There is something about the Olympic Games that brings out the American in me. It really doesn't matter what I'm watching, badminton, volleyball, swimming, and yes even gymnastics. It is about my country beating your country. Yes, I know Visa has come out with these wonderfully made commercials narrated by Morgan Freeman presenting a globally minded motto of "go world," but come on, does anyone really want to see there fellow countrymen lose. The answer is no. I appreciate the effort that all of these athletes put out, the grueling hours that they have spent training dedicating there lives to a dream, but once you dive in to that pool, once you step on to that court, once you grab on to those high bars, may the better man (or woman to be pc) win. Most likely that better man will be an American. USA! USA! USA!
