Am I Un-Australian?

[pasag]

I find this comment to be unAustralian. Have some capsicum spray hippie.

Haha.

Anyways, cricket > country.

I have followed the Aussie cricket team very closely since 84/5 - through the bad years and into the good. But for some reason I find myself barracking for India in this test? Am I un-Australian?

You are, but only because you used the term 'Un-Australian' which we borrowed from the Americans.

I'm English, does that make me un-Australian?

Clearly. GTFO, Pom

 

[Jamee999]

No, I'm supporting India and I'm not un-Australia...


Wait a moment

 

[Barney Rubble]

Clearly. GTFO, Pom

Aw, man, I wish I was Aust....oh, wait, no, I don't.

Essentially, yes.

I agree that un-Australian is a silly term, you're not 'un-Australian', but you're not a true fan of your team if you ever wish to see them lose. It's as simple as that.

What if you're supporting a team at the bottom of the ladder in the AFL, and its the last round and them winning the game gains them nothing, but losing gains them a #1 draft next year?

I know I'd rather my team lose.

Really, that just points out how flawed the AFL draft system is rather than anything else.

 

[Jono]

Prince let me be a smart-arse damn it.

And the system may have its flaws, but it ensures that **** teams eventually rise, and good teams eventually fall.

Can't say the same about some other sports. One league in particular which may as well just be a 4 team league as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, there're occasions where I could see your team losing would be the right result. Like if your team was safe in mid-table respectability going into the last game of the season, say, & losing would relegate your most hated rivals.

Which one, may I ask?

EDIT: Actually, I think I mis-understood your post. Are you referring to rugby league, or a particular league? Sorry to be a pain but it's a bit oblique.

English Premier League is my guess.

 

[steds]

Premier league, I reckon.

[PhoenixFire]

Course you are un-australian, but that sure is something to be proud of. Keep at it (Y).

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah that was my guess as well. The second use of the word "league" threw me a bit but I think I have the post sorted now.

Carlton supporter are you?

 

[howardj]

I respect people who love the game more than they do any particular team.
