After watching several soccer games around the world, and judging by the Brits' response to the occasional NFL game, I have determined that America is a poor sport.
Why? What happens to losers after they lose? Sure, all losers feel bad. But America doesn't remember the losers. It doesn't matter how well they played, or if they somehow lost by penalties (another massively bad American tradition in football and somewhat in basketball. baseball has only ejections. soccer has only ejections. water polo has only ejections and power plays. hockey has only ejections and power plays. guess what? these games don't stem from America) no one cares.
The brits, though, seem to remember that chelsea and manchester both still exist, are great teams, and play well, despite the outcome. Huh. I like the Brits.
America loves a winner. That's why we always win.
