Because they make it look as if it is some country vs country affair. It is lame and pathetic.
Why they can't chant "Brian!! Brian!!"? Why they have to chant "USA!!! USA!!!"?
I have never heard people in Japan chanting "Nippon!! Nippon!!!".
I am not saying that American fans are the only ones that chant stupid things, in Brazil they chant "You are gonna die!" and "Small dick!".
It is more than obvious that americans are going to support an american fighter (Unless it is Mark Coleman vs Fedor or Fedor vs Sylvia), but why they have to chant USA!?
MMA is an individual sport. Pride and M-1 made events of "country vs country", specially M-1 made a lot of those events, but in UFC there is not such thing as a team vs team or country vs country event, it is individual. To chant the name of the country and not of the fighter makes no sense to me.
