I think people are just being patriotic, its not about the sport its about their country.



That's exactly what it is. I'll confess I'm guilty of it when it comes to football. I can't stand it normally (entirely because I hate most professional footballers) but as soon as an internation game is on I'll be flying the George Cross. It's just annoying when it's my sports that people glory support :wink:


Yeh like the MASSIVE influx of Fans for Lewis just because he's british.

Na i understand what you mean. There is nothing wrong with supporting the "nation". However if you were to proclaim that you were an expert on Football then I would have a problem with that.

Do you catch my drift?

He was also a fresh and excting new driver so I can understand the influx of fans. We're predisposed to support people of our own nationality, if they happen to be very talented then that just makes it a lot easier.

Indeed. :yes:

Wow all that talk of drifts has got me in a surfing mood... time for some Beach Boys, Hawaiian shirts and drinks served with little umbrellas.

Edit: Sean Connery holds a royal title from the British monarch, despite being a ardent support of the Scottish National party. The man does not pay any income tax to the UK government, however he claims he will come back to Scotland if she becomes independent. What a joke. Do NOT get me started on the SNP.



Anyways back to your innings and other crickety words. I'm going to hang with the only decent Cricket: Jiminy
