    Sounds like you have pride in family, friend and community but you can’t seem to grasp pride in your ancestors.

    Did you have a lobotomy or just serious head trauma?

    and conceals from the stupid,
    the vast limits of their knowledge.

    I have pride in those I have contact with, the ones whos work I influence. I find it hard to grasp the concept of being proud of someone I have never met.

    Also, my ancestors? Henrik Ibsen, for example, is definitely not my familys ancestor.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
