People like to shrink the universe of goodness to be as small as possible, whilst still incorporating them.
Football matches are a prime example, when it's a Premier match (and I don't have any knowledge of players past 1996, so you'll have to forgive me) you'll get Liverpool players shouting the vilest, most disgusting and abusive things at David Beckham; of course, come a national match then he's the nation's hero.
I'd like to close on a Heidegger quote (or paraphrase more likely) "That which we call the other is that which we fear in ourselves, and it is the fear of similarity, not difference, that makes us draw borders."
Actually, that wasn't Heidegger at all - I completely lied.

I think it was going to be at one stage, though.
