- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I know what you mean and in a way it's almost insulting. Like there are nations who trully love certain sports and they take it as part of their national pride ... and then there is US. Where you wonder "why are you guys even here? Why are you taking fun from people who enjoy this game? What do you even take from this?"
Where I live we have the same situation with ice hockey - our entire nation basically stops for IIHF world hockey championship, everyone watches it and we celebrate every win. And then there is US. Which regularly wins some medal and you have a feeling that no one in the US even notices.
I mean, American players and American fans of the game still love the game. What does it matter that the whole country should love it? Let people love what they want to love.
