Just been talking to my brother.
He made me think again about my reaction to the American "winners" shirts.

He asked whether I would have had such a negative reaction had the Japanese team worn them. In Japanese of course, but with the same translation. Or the Brazilian team. Or the Latvian team. And if it had been explained that this was a common occurrence in their country.

He was right.

Although we share a same language with America I know perfectly well we have cultural differences.
It's not up to me to judge another country and their societal mores, especially not to assume they share mine.

So I am honestly apologising - I have been asked to review my opinion and have found it unjustified.
I don't have to like the wearing of the shirts, but I really shouldn't make judgements based on the country that wears them. As the lickle boy says: that's racist.
