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 do not understand spectator sport at all. I also think that pride should be restricted to personal achievement, not someone else's achievement or even the achievement of a team of 'someone elses'. Pride in the achievements of family and close friends is OK, though.
