OT: Am I a Bad American if I Root for Coach K to Lose?

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on

OK, I'm as American as apple pie, and I've been rooting for every single one of our athletes and teams to win in Rio ... but when we started having problems in basketball against Australia yesterday, a big part of me was thinking, "You know, I'd be OK if Coach K lost this."

If that makes me a bad American, then so ahead and neg me. But I just hate that guy so much, and I hate that I have to root for a team that he's coaching to win. I felt this same way when Kelly Tripucka and Christian Laettner played for the Pistons.

Anybody with me on this?

I thought you were better than this, I was obviously wrong. That's a pretty juvenile bitch. Give the guy some credit for being a great coach who gives his time to the USA for free.

And even asking the question presupposes that it's up to other people to tell you whether or not you're a good American. That very notion is...un-American.
