It wasn't for that reason. Allegedly. Don't beleive everything you read on facebook
I didn't read it on Faceache actually That's the only story I know until someone corrects me
Weve been actively encouraging everyone to get behind any team they support/country the hail from, the atmosphere has been great!

Don't like the car flags really, but I have one in my bedroom window.
Also couldn't resist buying the England shirt in the end I really like it...
To be honest at first I thought all this is a bit ott and represents racism a bit, but I've completely gone back on that now, I love seeing the support this country is giving and it makes it seem like there's a real buzzing atmosphere around atm!

if the england flag represents racism, then whatever caused that feeling needs dealt with, flying your countries flag, or wearing your countries colours should in no way shape or form be indicitative of racism

The Scots and the Welsh are more racist than us, they're always flying their flags and being patriotic towards their countries

The flag is only racist in the context its being displayed.
A flag waving on your own car = not racist.
A flag being used to tie an asian to a lamppost = racist.

I think a lot of people need to see that there is a difference between being proud of your race and hating other races

The Union Jack is associated with nationalism and racism in a way the Stars and Stripes, say, isn't.
I wish that wasn't the case but anyone who denies this is sadly deluded.

It can't/I have one because I'm british and supporting my team.It seems people are losing faith to show the illegal immergrants whats right.Support your country as its only a game which we may aswell lose due to everyone thinking we are the greatest team going when in reality we are shit.
I'm not a racist.... but my god i'm getting really fucked off the muslims and whoever else who have issues with our flag.

And feeling utter dissapointment when we draw/loose every game
Meanwhile in F1, we come 1st and 2nd again, in a British team. Not to mention McNish with a 3rd spot in LeMans. What about Leon Haslam doing so well in WSB.... 1/4 page spread if they are lucky.
Still, everyone continue to support something we're awful at

Could be because people find football more interesting than a procession of tax-avoiding millionaires following each other around a track......

Granted with F1....
World Superbike though???? Has anyone heard anything about Leon Haslam? or any of the other Brits? theres 7 of them this year.
BBC won't cover it, never makes the news, and gets piddly articles in newspapers. Yet more overtakes in a lap than entire F1 race.
So the excuse for this one from you issssss??? (Much more skillfull than juggling a ball around and falling over and pretending to be hard men )

Wasn't aware I needed an excuse daimo but ok...
Motorcycle racing is a niche sport, the reason it's not on the news is because hardly anyone gives a fuck.
