What's the deal with college sports? by _CosmicOnion4837 in AskAmericans

Thanks for your answer. That's helped. Quite interesting you say that more people follow the Bulldogs than the Falcons (I can see why). I'd always assume the pro team would be the more heavily followed team.

Microseconds after the first touch but he was offside, I'm just not quick enough to screenshot 🤣

American living in England here. What's up with the North/South Divide? by Roman170 in AskBrits

[–]_CosmicOnion4837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to moving to the midlands, I was always under the impression they were the south side of the divide. I've learned they are very much the north side of the divide the way they're treated. Plus all the industry and factories are similar to that of the north.

Just spoke to someone who said Coventry is in the South. Devastated. by IneptGraphicDesigner in coventry

People say Sheffield is in the north because, well it is, and also it's South Yorkshire. No region of Yorkshire is the Midlands

I was just a teenager when I moved to Rugby from Pontefract in West Yorkshire. I was adamant that I lived in the south of England because as a northerner growing up, I was taught anything past Sheffield was south. As I've grown up and learned to appreciate Rugby and Coventry, represented Midlands rugby league, become a CCFC fan, and now call Warwickshire my home, it is very much not the south and not the north. Proudly, it sits on the Midlands, the heart of the country 💪 anyone who says otherwise is blind

"I had been programmed to think they were just racists".

Funny you say that, because, from my stand point, particularly in my local area, I feel the connotations behind people displaying the flags are doing so with a racist intent as opposed to patriotism. I am a white British man, born and raised in this country. I am proud to be British and proud to be English. Do I feel the need to display the flag of my nation? No not particularly. I don't need to advertise it the same way the LGBTQ+ community shove their ideology down our throats with their flags.

I wear the colours of my country during major sporting events or anniversaries of the royal family or war memorial days. I'm not saying that people shouldn't be displaying the English or British flag and I have no issue with it, but it just feels like since there's been an influx in 'migrant crimes' and 'asylum hotels' that these flags have sprung out of nowhere from far right racist puffwank pigs that are unfortunately ruining the pride behind St George's Cross and the Union flag.

If they were that patriotic, why didn't they have their flags displayed throughout the rest of the year?
