It’s basically tribalism. This is the kind of shit that inspires pointless wars…and ethnic cleansing. Although I guess channeling it into sports is slightly less bad.
Ehh. We’ve been doing this since human beings banded together in groups and realized sticks could be used as weapons. It’s just in a more “civilized” form now.
In baseball I always took it up notch when I played against the Japanese kid at my rival school. I always sparr and punch a little bit harder against Chinese guys in Thailand. Sports rivalries are fun.
Oh, and I’m not a Republican. I have no party affiliation. I’ve voted Democrat in the past, and may again in the future if they ever get their shit together (although it seems highly unlikely at this point in time).
Its worse when THEY attach to your flag and every time you see them on TV opening their mouth you want to die a little e.g. McGregor…What a fucking tool!
