Nationalism, I'm all for it.

[Gandalf]

I think must often I root for the boxer I think I have something in common with. Which I pretty easy since I'm English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, and a little German. Nationality is the hook that gets fans involved sometimes, especially when you know nothing about them. And I will continue to do something that I find disrespectful, or insulting. Look I used to be a Carl Fogerty (world superbike) fan, until he started stalking S*** about the American racers, and fans. My son and I always pick a fighter before the fight starts, and if we don't know the fighters we pick one anyway. Who knows might end up being a fan.

is that really about nationalism?

In a way. Nationality is one of the reasons I initially pick a fighter to root for. I always root for the American in a fight unless he an asshole. But I'm open minded enough to realize when my boy gets his butt kicked.

that is your opinion......but that is okay
