On some level I HATE this. “our” Chloe Covell sounds creepy as shit! But I do love how we embrace them. No matter the sport, you are a national hero whilst you compete.
I’ve heard it in reference to men, but as a collective. “Our Socceroos”, “Our boys” etc. I can’t think of any examples where it was used in reference to a single male athlete.
I don’t think it’s creepy. I think it’s endearing.
but is it ever used in reference to men? isnt it always women? that feels wrong.
