So when a football team wins a championship, they should refuse to put on the shirts and hats given to them?

Come on, if it hurts the losing teams feelings, maybe they should play better so the US doesn't have the opportunity to celebrate. By the way, is their cockiness any worse or distasteful than Usain Bolts celebrations and proclamations? No one seems to mind him telling everyone how great he is.
