This is probably a pointless question to ask, but while I'm in Europe watching the Olympics who should I be rooting for? Going abroad will be confusing enough, but the Olympics adds a whole 'nother dimension.I've always supported Team USA, and Japan will always be my team (It is, after all, the motherland), but what about the whole UK-Scotland problem. Apparently, the Sports Minister of Scotland recently contacted IOC President Jacques Roggi to contest the banning of all non-national team flags from sporting events--including Saltire Flags. The message: Scottish fans should have the right to celebrate their Scottish athletes with a Scottish flag despite the fact that, technically, they are UK athletes under the UK flag. It's a tricky situation. There's no doubt about that. But what does that mean for the casual Olympic fan like me?
Here's the article from The Scotsman.
