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
