[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 631249, member: 57076"] my God, you're absolutely useless !... And as sexist or wtvr the hell this might sound, I think women have a much easier time with national identity or anything to do with that level of pride. Patriotic women are legion, I'm not contradicting that fact. I'm just saying men will more identify themselves through national belonging or belonging to something in general along those lines. As an example, in mixed individuals I'll often see the boys struggling with identity crises and never the girls, they're just fine with who/how they are. It's part of masculine stubbornness and stupidity than to cling on to the team that represents us, in sports as one instance, but in life in general. It's 100% typically masculine. Women are far more flexible with these issues and don't nearly take em as seriously, and see the relative unimportance of it all. it does seem like that, aye. I follow the NBA avidly, and it's ALL about the local-town team. Of course Americans are behind Team USA when at the Olympics, but then if a player gets injured there and he's from let's say the Chicago Bulls, Bulls fans will go nuts knowing their star has gone down. Team USA seems more like a formality of somewhat importance. American fans I don't think as a whole are devastated if Team USA doesn't do well internationally, their pride is just harmed a bit because they used to never lose, now they do. During the strong Soviet Union years though, Americans took it extremely seriously when they lost to the latter, but that's because of course there were huge stakes behind the pretext that was basketball.
