I don't hate them, Catwoman. I think it was ingenious! Here's a guy who is overweight for his sport and wouldn't even have been able to compete due to it and he takes what would have been a negative (for him) and VOILA!--turns it into a personal positive and becomes a symbol of patriotism for his country! That's more American than he knows! He took an odious belief and had people rally 'round it!
