    Cheering for you own nation is natural, but not really nationalism.

    Nationalism is not a dirty word.

    Milo Yiannopoulos is an attention seeking troll.

    Any questions?
    Yes it is. And as you say, there is nothing wrong with that.

    People seem to fear the term nationalism. It is the norm. Nothing to fear.

    To tie this in with the OP, politicizing the Olympics into nationalism is just as wrong as politicizing it into a gay rights march.
    I think that peter is more right than you know. I can appreciate good competition but it is all about team USA

    From what I can see, the Fruit Cup wants some special treatment or for people to think he is special because he is gay.

    What a crock of crap. Better Cowboy Up butter cup, Trump does not play nice with liberal loons.

    Yes, words have meanings, but the Olympics doesn't prove nationalism is good, only that people will often cheer for their country over others.
