Watching the Olympics right now, and it's sad to admit that I'm a little disappointed with the gymnastics showings (both men and women). I mean, I understand it's arcane, but I can't override my American sense of entitlement, especially where Olympics are concerned. We're the f*cking US of A! We should win gold in every event that matters! And we should absolutely NOT struggle with gold (have it for a rotation or two) and then drop the ball! We're f*cking American Olympians! The absolute best athletes that our country has to offer, and we let the gold slip? Ehh, whatever, I guess we can blame the Chinese choosing Olympians at birth and training them up. At least we still do it the old fashioned way- stage parents Eye-wink

Self entitlement is correct. Get a grip, there is a whole planet that attends and competes, not just US of A.
