      There are too many American fighters for me to care about supporting american fighters, i just like who i like because supporting people just because their american will make me narrow minded.

        I kind of get when people say "I have black pride or I have polish pride" even though people should be proud of something they actually have control over. I'm not "proud to be white" or "proud to be an american" because I didn't do anything to be white or American. My parents are white and I was born in an American hospital. I didn't do anything to achieve that.

        That being said, I'm giving in a little. I'm pulling for Brewster to keep winning since he was born less than an hour from my little town.

          What about the "Matchstick Man" Johnny Owen? I think he was Polish. You're not proud of his accomplishments?
