Let's define the word "proud".
from the dictionary:
feeling self-respect or pleasure in something by which you measure your self-worth
No, I don't measure my own self-worth by what other people do, because that's fucking stupid. If some guy broke all his bones and worked his way back, he should be proud of that feat. I would not be proud, because I didn't have anything to do with it. The actual athletes who are competing in the olympics, and their trainers, and their families, you know, people who might have actually influenced them in some way, they should be proud. I would not expect an average Canadian to feel pride in a Canadian athlete anymore than I'd expect someone from Nigeria to feel pride in a Canadian athlete, as they both have done the same amount of work to further that athlete's progress.

If you can feel ashamed that you're from the same country as Skills, then you damn well can take pride in the achievement of a random Canadian athlete as well.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
