Whats it to do with me and why should I feel proud?

Lots of sport on telly right now, as many of you probably already know, i don't like sport or really understand it and I dislike and don't understand competitiveness. But why am I expected to care when someone wins something, and the only thing we have in common is country of birth?

I didn't ask them to do it,

It makes no difference to my life if they win something,

Would they be proud of me for doing something well, I make really good mashed potato, but I don't think anyones going to give me a trophy and thousands in prize money, nor would I expect them too? Then they want me to do it all over again and keep doing it year after year until I "retire" usually due to age or injury? It makes no sense!

    I don't think they care about you at all - they are just offering a feel good news article to the majority of people who have a passing interest in sport of those who feel pride in their countrypeoples success.

    No need to rain on their parade over it. Live and let live and all that.
