PUERTO RICO BEATS USA!

I thought I hated the olympics. But, mostly out of boredom, I've watched about 4 hours already. Yesterday morning I saw the Chinese women's volleyball team beat the U.S. team. The U.S. was ranked #1 going into the games. Just now, I watched the Puerto Rican men's basketball team beat the U.S. team.

I think I like watching the U.S. lose, not because I hate the U.S. or because I don't like the athletes. When I see the Puerto Ricans win, I sense the disappointment of American nationalists all over the country. Nationalism is one of the aspects of American culture I really can't take, so in my mind, a victory against the U.S. is a victory against that awful sentiment.

I'm also a sucker for underdogs.
