Not off you mate. But I've been getting PMs and neg rep comments such as: "go back to Russia, Stalin", and "if you dont like us Brits then go and live in Kabul, Osama Bin Whingeing".
I love sport, I really do. But if you're not on the same page as the uber-Brits your're in their crosshairs, it seems.

I just love to see good guys win.
Mo Farrah and Jess Ennis getting gold is just, it's a movie moment, but it actually happened.
I hope this turns the tide a bit in terms of who we, as a country, put on a podium and idolise. I doubt it, but I can hope.

As long as Twitter, Hello magazine and Big Brother continue, kids will alway look up to utter mutants unfortunately.
Not my kids like, they're being told from an early age who they should look to as an example.
Is life even worth living to you? I assumed the pinnacle of humanity was based on common adulation and support for one another. Whether that be those you know or those you feel in common with. I'm Australian but I can see how important the stories that develop from the Olympics are to the British. Just look at Mo Farah.
So it's acceptable for you to call Moyes, Kenwright and Neville among others t**ts and plenty of other names, but if somebody gives you a bit of stick it's out of order ?
Just checking exactly how much of a hypocrite you are.
So you won't be proud if Everton ever win a cup ?
Cheers mate.

All I'm saying that is I want to be proud of my own achievements and the achievements of something that I choose to be a part of, that I do have control over, like supporting a football team, for example.
When people talk about pride I'm actually proud of the the people that my country has representing it and if you like me as much as anything .I'm proud because I feel part of it, I'm far from a über right winger and for me it's the make up that I enjoy as well. Mo is a lad born in Somalia (all be it to a British dad) and he fled to this country to escape the chaos and I think it's great he represents us and seems proud to do so. Whether its lads like Tom stalker who has used sport to turn his life around , working class people like ennis & wiggins or rowers who have the same roots or the military on special leave to perform or the cyclist whose medical condition means she vomits after every race or training session or the Rower Tom James who has atrial fibrillation and had to miss training before the heats. I think whether working class or middle class the sacrifices and efforts they make frankly puts many of us to Shame and for that in my opinion they should be applauded.
This place reeks of Berlin 1938 at the moment. Some English athletes and rowers (lolol) done well and suddenly you're waking up and feeling good about the world.
It patriotism stirs you like this then it's only a small matter of time before the BNP are militarising you and preparing for invasions.
The first thing Mo Farrah thought of when he won was to worship Allah, not Britain. He done it for God not some people he shares a rock with that discriminate against him.
Come on China ffs.
