Yes, I will feel bad to it but fortunately it won't last for a long time. After all, it's not the end of the world. And there will be a win and loss. It's important not to become to be a loser and the participation is already an honor.

what matters most is that they played well and gave their all.. of course winning something would be a great 'bonus', but to me it is more important how they play the game... if they hadnt played well and lost the game.. that would upset all their fans and supporters.

Do you mean during the Olympics? Or my favorite football, hockey, and baseball teams?If you mean the Olympics, I am not as upset because the U.S. loses especially when a good team does win. And when the U.S. isn't in the final, I root for another nation.But when it comes to my sports teams, a loss could last with me for a long time, especially if it were a bad lost in the playoffs. when you Know your team can play better than they did and they let the other team beat them it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.it takes a long, long time for me to recover.

You think it is because Americans are of different races? I don't think so, There are many nations that have only one race that are great in the games.The U.S. may have advantages because we are entered in most of the events.But with that said, I think the home team ,China will win most of the gymnastic medals.The opening ceremony is days away.re you excited?Will you get to see it live?

I don't especially refer to the Olympics. Every games will have loss and wins. By the way, US usually has a good achievement in Olympics because it is a country combines different races

No i have started to take things ease,when it comes to sports. After all, it is the essence of sport to be " Sportive". In earlier days, i used to watch Cricket, Tennis, and F-1 racing with all interest, even sacrificing my food and sleep, and some times got dejected when the Favorite player or team lose.. now that i just watch.. sports for fun and entertainment.. and nothing beyond that.

I am not intereested enough in sports to really care whether a team wins or loses. Sure, if my home team (Toronto Bluejays) makes it to the World Series of baseball, which doesn't happen very often, I'll hope that they will win, but if they don't, I won't pout, because that won't do anyone any good. As long as the team that played it's best wins, I'm fine.

Hi youless! Yes, I do feel bad when my favorite team loses. However, just like how you feel, it really doesn't last long. And it is not important that you win or lose sometimes but how you played..giving one's best and playing with dignity, integrity and honor. Take care and God Bless!

I feel bad when they lose but even worse when they are expected to do better than they have. For example, watching the Dolphins in the NFL lose makes me feel bad but not as bad as watching the Blue Jays in baseball lose this year. They should have be doing a lot better than they have been.

Yes, I do feel very bad to see my favourite team lose. I kinda get emotionally attached with the team that I am cheering for and feel the extremes in emotions according to the result. There are times when I feel very ecstatic and overwhelmed when the team does something really commendable. I tend to get attached to the team and consider them as my own team. There are times when I feel very sorry for the players of the opposition team when they lose. So, it's kinda a mixed bag. I think in my case, I love the sport as a whole and not any one side.
