I am enjoying watching the olympics so much this year. The swimming, the gymnastics, the volleyball...
I'm not a Kobe Bryant fan, but he did an interview and talked about how much of a priveledge it was to be there at the olympics and how proud he was to be representing the USA there. The interviewer said that in this day and age that wasn't a sentiment that was commonly heard and popular. Kobe replied that it was true for him and he was proud of his country and considered it the greatest country.
I know there are many things on our country that need to be fixed and changed, but he's right. We do have a great country. Watching the stories of the Chinese "sports machine" type lifestyle that many of the Chinese atheletes grow up in, I really do love our country ablnd all the good that of stands for more. I also believe that our good far outweighs the bad. I am proud to cheer for our team USA athletes and am having a great time watching the olympics!
