Oblivious Sports Fan

Thank you Olympics for sharing with us your motto of "Faster. Higher. Stonger." It always feels special to cheer on the world, hear the stories that encourage the children of the world to be active and competitive, and to see moments of triumph after years of hard work!

I am a huge fan (fan n: an enthusiastic follower or admirer), and usually this means that you know the colors of your team or even other teams. However, I had this theory challenged while I was traveling on a bus from Whistler, B.C. to Vancouver, B.C.

Thank you family of four who spent a half hour discussiong how the Swedish flag was white and blue...
How the Finish flag was red and white...
How the Norwegian flag was white, with a white and blue vertical stripe...
And finally, how the Dutch flag was red and white flag with a "Red Cross" looking thing in the center....
You made rethink the meaning of an Olympic fan.
