    Yep. People watching the Olympics while being obese sitting on a sofa eating big macs with extra cheese. The athletes did all the hard work, and the audience at home take the pride for whatever reason.

    Humans have not evolved beyond tribalism. They still think in terms of borders instead of the planet.
