I'm between countries at the moment and these Olympic Games are causing me much angst. I don't know for whom to cheer. Do I need to wait for a new passport to root for Canada? Can I root for them anyway? What about the fact that I find myself rooting for the American team without thinking? Those years of training are hard to undo. Why is it I can easily tolerate people criticizing US politics but not US Olympic athletes?
I've decided that when I'm in doubt, I'll pull for Norway even if there's a Yank or a Canuck in the competition. I've been pulling for Norway alot these Winter Games. Until yesterday they were leading the medal count so I feel as though I chose wisely.
There's nothing below the fold.
