A typical Neowinian looks like this: So stay away from football and stick to talking about how cool it is to be an ultra nerd [/A JOKE TO BREAK THE ICE] lmfao, maybe the majority dont but i play football on a regular basis :) no i didnt, found it on the net :$ im gonna make my own when i get some time Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470282-i-dont-support-england/page/2/#findComment-587608229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I support the Socceroos (Australian Football Team).What a game against Japan. Hope for improvement in preparation for Brazil! :D And to think you have a Dutch coach to thank for that :p I support the Netherlands ofcource, but I'm not a hooligan or whatever. I generally like a lot of teams, England is one of them.

TogaForComfort Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm English and live in England, and support Germany and think that this whole England flag thing is utter nonsense bordering on extremist nationalism.

I hate all these cars with England flags attached to them. Imagine if i put a German flag on my car, imagine the reaction of some "England supporters" - i have no doubt that it would end in some kind of violence - which is the basis for my dislike of this England flag nonsense.... the kind of person who has one is by their having one, intolerant. A lot of people who bear the England flag on their cars - and they're not in the majority - are more often than not, Nationalistic, Racist (look down on ethnic monirities), Daily Mail reading (thugs), most likely brain dead.... Bearing an England flag in itself is an innocuous act, but my point is that behind such an act: the difference between someone who will make an effort to do it, and someone who will not, often lies the kind of person described above. Finding the flag on Neowin I actually cried out : "Nooooooooooo!" and seriously considered not visiting the site again until after the world cup. In any case, isn't Neowin an extremely diverse and multi-cultural/national community. I find it a bit off putting that the site would declare it support of England so prominently when those of other nationalities are so often visitors here. It'd be better if a flag on the homepage wasn't there..... for all of us. [insert Nazi salute here] Dude, lay off the crack pipe - it's messing with your brain, seriously. I wonder what kind of Englishman you are if the fact that YOUR countrymen once every 4 years for one month only display YOUR country's symbols in support for YOUR country's NATIONAL team? Crawl back into you hole, as you don't know the basic differences between support for your national team and nationalism, chauvinism and fascism. This place is better without you.

[insert Nazi salute here] So when England play Pakistan at cricket and all those people born n bred in England start displaying Pakistani flags and your Islamic brothers and sisters are cheering on a team that isn't from the country they live and work in are you whinning then? From what I have read you have some serious racist issues yourself. I am mixed race don't let the surname Smith make you think I am not thats my fathers surname, my fiance is mixed race and our children also. All our friends and relatives from every shade of colour down the spectrum support their country, their team and you supporting Germany over England means you hate England. I suggest you go move to Germany and stay there. I lived there (Munchen) as a child and they love to wear their flags with pride. Go be racist somewhere else and stop turning this into a race issue. Those that shout the loudest have the most to hide and that is you.

Sheppard Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I don't see how Neowin can 'officially' back any team because not everyone on these boards is British or supports the English team. Neowin can do whatever the hell it wants, its not forcing you to back England, im getting sick of all this politically correct bull****. Neowin doesnt have to take into account every race and nationality in here when deciding things. If it put up a swastika on the other hand then that would be something to complain about. They are supporting England, if you dont like it dont come here.
