Are we allowed to be proud of Phelps, or would that make non-Americans upset? This thread is confusing me - I don't want to upset other countries. Can I say one nice thing about him, then post 10 things that suck about this country? Would that work?



;p

Here is a good American challenge: post something positive about America without adding a snide remark about another country.

 

[freenudemacusers]

How do you guys know about this, have NBC even aired this yet?

We are notified through telepathy whenever an American is best at something.

As you can imagine, it happens a lot.

I'm glad we have you here to fight the evils of nationalism. Good work sir.

Back in the day if you accomplished something awesome in sport, you got to meet the president in person at the White House. Now he just tweets you.

Spoiler

I'm sure he'll get to go to the White House when the Olympics are over, I still find it crazy how much attention tweets get.

 

[twobear]

pls. At least post Nocerino or something equally hot, he turns straight men into man ass lovers, not Beckham.

You misspelled Piqué. Either way, Becks is scorching.

Oh is that what happened?

I thought I'd just farted.

Loosening of the butt muscles: THE FIRST SIGN.

 

[bengraven]

But how can you be proud of Team USA's accomplishments when you're not on the team?

That's true. They should probably also limit those allowed to watch/be in the audience to family members, like in a Little League game.

The revolutions caused by my eye-rolling ended up breaking through the trans-dimensional fabric and I believe I just invented sub-space travel in my skull.

Thats just plain unamerican

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It's hard to even fathom someone winning 19 medals. With a chance for even more.

Can't see this one being topped.

Oh Britain, you and your cheeky humor:

As I keep mentioning, as the US team is completely donor funded, if you've made a contribution here:

http://support.teamusa.org/site/PageNavigator/TeamUSA_Ways_to_Donate

I think you're entitled on some small level to share in the pride.

That being said, the Americans crowing the loudest likely haven't contributed anything.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

This is a monumental feat, but not a totally unexpected one, since Americans are used to being #1 at basically anything we care about.

At the time of this post, the USA is ranked #1 on the 2012 Olympics medal count.

awesome a Korey thread.

Proof, that America cares most about coming 2nd and 3rd!

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well it's hard to like him knowing Zlatan has been all up there.

and that he's a barca player

Pique :

Nocerino :

Think we can all agree here.

Yeah, really. And honestly it's not like we're saying [insert your country here] isn't any good.

America's just better

sorry, i tried.

Judicious choice of photos aside, have you seen how tall Piqué is? Just in terms of scale his penis would be the size of your arm.

Nah there are many, many ways to contribute. Not just through direct donations. I bet most people have contributed in some way.

When the soda is an official sponsor of freedom, exemptions are made.

This is one instance when love of America overcomes the hatred of soda.

I haven't been following the olympics, but I thought it was decided that Phelps was a has-been because he failed to win a medal earlier in the week or something? Did he win again?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Yeah, really. And honestly it's not like we're saying [insert your country here] isn't any good.

sorry, i tried.

Hey, you tried, and that's what America is all about.

 

[Subitai]

I like you.

That's more indirect and I don't think Olympic fans are like NASCAR fans. If you consciously go to McDonalds and buy Coke to it is the same thing on a smaller level right? Again the problem is that's not happening and certainly being done by most of the people spamming over the top USA trash talking.

 

[J-Rzez]

Congrats Phelps, and America. Gonna leave this song here!

HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO TYPE RIGHT NOW?

 

[Emwitus]

Yay. Dream team sucked. They only win one gold medal every 4 years. They can't be best athletes!!! Yay phelps! greatest olympian of all time!

 

[Solo]

Not a Korey thread without a massive, self-indulgent jpeg "review" in which all he does is list cons of the movie/book/game/whatever before incredulously giving it a 7/10.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

I'll admit it is difficult to type with these sausage-like fingers but that's my cross to bear for the US of A

 

[Subitai]

yeah, you're right. What was I thinking?

 

[RukusProvider]

Not shocking at all. Basically just modern day tribalism.

Oh shit son! Someone's walking a higher path!

I ruckus, I tribe man, I proud of Tribe man Phelps, tribe man Phelps win 4 tribe!!!

 

[Vermillion]

USAGAF are such masterful trolls.

Why would tribal men speak in broken English? I know the US education system is bad, but I didn't know it was that bad.

[Zhengi]

You had absolutely nothing to do with his accomplishments. You were simply born in the same country. How does it feel to need to live your life through other people?

What are you talking about? You think he would be where he is if society was not there for him? We helped paved the roads that he drives on, filled the Olympic sized swimming pools where he trains, and made a society that is possible for athletes like him to train through our taxes. What do you mean we had nothing to do with his accomplishments? Get out of here you conservative scum!!!

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Proud of him and Team USA.

 

[Delusibeta]

So no-one's mentioned Bradley Wiggins' gold medal and as a result he's (apparently) the Brit with the most Olympic medals ever?

No?
