I should be proud because....

TheCatWoman

I'm often told that I should be proud of things like sporting achievements, but I hate sport and if it disapeared the only thing I'd notice was that my normal progames wern't being messed about because of it. It dosen't matter what sport is, mens, womens team or individual, I dont' care and I resent being told I should.

Can anyone give me a reason why I should care, because I really don't understand this national pride thing in sport, or much else to be honest.

  • I don't think you should have to be proud. I don't think anyone should have to care about anything really. If you don't like sport and don't have an interest then that's ok. I don't think you should be required to show support or feel pride because that's the social norm.

    However, sport is something that is important to a lot of people. So if you are being very vocal on your opinion on it (not saying you are) I could see people being offended by that and they will therefore tell you what they think as it would them being put down.

    If you aren't vocal about your dislike unless someone tells you you should feel proud then I think it's fair to share your opinion and how you feel. Both should be valid views but neither should be put down because the other doesn't agree with it.
