Rooting for your home country

I don't know about you, but I have friends that root for countries other than the United States in events - despite being born and bred Americans. I can sort of understand why an immigrant might root for the country of his or her booth, but a natural born citizen really has no excuse. So NBCs have no excuse but to root for the Yanks in the World Cup, Olympics or other international competitions.

However, when dealing with a naturalized citizen, I kind of think its expected and totally acceptable if this person roots for the country of their birth as long as they know where their bread is buttered. If you are an American, you cannot root against the US...just for someone else. So, I say she can sing O, Canada...
