Nationalism is a good thing for one individual or a country as a whole to have to an extent. In being American I think our view point on certian topics can be very one-sided compared to other parts of the world. Furthermore, we see many of the world's different cultures be very radical and we are not used to this kind of devotion to one cause. Nonetheless, I believe that in this movie, nationalism was taken too far in targeting innocent bystanders like the athletes. I think it was Germany's responsibilty as a country to take inconsideration the severity of these events. These were people's lives, and for a country to only worry about what would benefit them personally i think is irresponsible and unethical and nationalism was taken way too far concerning both of the parties that were involved.
