As a sports fan, it is always amazing how after someone wins a championship, the whole town and often the country jumps up and supports them. There are towns where through fundraising it seems everyone has contributed to the success of the champions. However, when someone wins a championship everyone takes credit. The politicians because it means votes or could mean votes show up, some for the first time, others because they actually knew the person or have supported them before they won.
