We stink, we fucking stink

Well, this post will assuredly bring the bitter element of YCS, as I'm one pissed off American right now.

Another major international sporting event, another American embarassment. While I may be the only one on the blog who really gives a damn, our Ryder Cup team is bending over and letting Europe have their way yet again.

Seriously, what happened to the glorious times when we dominated the sporting landscape. For golf, those days have unfortunately been over for the last 20 years. Still, after both our basketball teams crapped out in the sport that they made popular and the soccer team proved why no one in America gives a damn about it, my frustation as a proud American sports fan has reached a boiling point. Unfortunately, apparently the only thing Americans care about is the almighty dollar.

Everyone else's favorite, the Tiger, craps his bed in international team events like a weekend hacker. Phil Mickelson plays every hole like it's the 18th at Winged Foot. Even sadder, the European team may actually have more talent now. Young American golfers have no sense of how the game is actually played. On the other hand, the Europeans have a seemingly endless stable of talented golfers who actually have pride in their countries and continent.

Hell, the statement about American golfers rings true for many other groups of young athletes. Sadly, it looks like the ESPN generation will continue to not give a damn about representing their country and the international domination in sports will continue. All I have to say is I wish these athletes would stop giving a shit about money and have some damn pride in the U.S.A. However, I'm not naive enough to think that will happen anytime soon.
