Have you been supporting Great Britain?

[Numero001]

I myself have been supporting, yes you guessed, the land of wood and water. Why? Because I dont like Britainnor the people reppin', never been brought up supporting Britain, not to mention they only do well in sports I couldnt give a f*ck about. People at work keep referring to Britain winning medals as "WE won one in *insert random sport which involves sitting on your ass*" but to me its like "We who?" They usually answer "Our girl". After the Christine O race I was checking to see where the Jamaican came. I missed the line-up so wasnt sure if the woman in the yellow kit was Jamaican. When I broke their celebrations to ask for confirmation I was met with some plainface grumble "'eh". Couldnt even say yeah.So yeah, who you supporting? If your supporting Britain how do you feel about those from Britain not supporting Britain? If not why not and who have you been supporting instead?

supporting britain still. in football i dont but olympics i dunno, such a massive world stage and with all the camaderie and press and just goodvibes i cant help but get behind the athletes (strong no homo) and at the end of the day I am british so boy.no bounty.

[Flojo]

I almost always want England/GB to do well as long as it isn't at the expense of the caribbean islands.

[Jo Dark]

I do support GB but I haven't really been watching the sports they excel at. I also support Jamaica and T&T. I think it's good to support underdog countries.When it comes to football I refuse to support England, but that's because I think they're spoilt and overpaid.

[JLovely]

Tbh no....was happy for Christine O though.

[Action Dan]

Yeah.Go team GB woot woot

[Action Dan]

[Baroness.]

[Kumasi]

Edit: In the olympics.

Trying to follow every British athlete, no matter what Sport. Definitely rooting for the Brits.Watched the 10km open water swim last night, was annoyed by that Russian pulling at Cassie Patton at the finish and in the ladies bmx, was disappointed when Shanaze Reade dropped off her bmx.If the Brits ain't represented in an event I'll root for the person that oozes the most class, but supporting the our home nation comes first in every sport.

I have been supporting GB (IN ATHLETICS, NOTHING ELSE) and I know it's going to sound bad but I GB have alot of athletes of African/Caribbean Heritage. Don't try it other black people if you have and African/Caribbean mother/father you know you would they would be supporting the only black person in the gameshows like Jeopardy/Strike it lucky back in the day etc etc.and I love supporting the Caribbean athletes as much as well, Proud of all them that have won so far.

Ok so the secrets out. During the 400m hurdles no one was watching it so as my Jamaican lady starts pulling away I'm like "Yes, another Gold medal" and everyone comes rushing over. The look of disgust on there faces when they realised I was chatting about Jamaica was overwhelming. If only I could teleport.I was alright when I was shouting for Bolt. Even though I was the only one that was a monumentous occasion, I was excused for that.Now everyones tryna cuss me for supporting Jamaica saying "Yer British. You should be supporting where ya live". I just smile.Jamaica wi seh

Jamaica, GB, Caribbean and Africa. Sometimes i'm supporting because of the nation, the colour, the culture, the individual or a mixture of all, or who i can relate to, i have a different reason for supporting someone/team.In Athletics it's Jamaica and Britain. JA Because thats where mi family from. GB because alot of them are black, and are ''from JA, West Indies or Africa'', and this is where i have been raised.Cycling,Rowing (them events that have lack of black in them), i will shout on GB, because they are the closest that i can relate and also i want the individual to do well, it takes alot to do what they are doing. a lto of dedication etc, and i can appreciate that, i even cheered when that Russian woman won pole vault and got the WR.I respect that Africans don't usually have the same quality of facilities as USA and europe so i will cheer for them in Long distance events and what not, call me jumping on the bandwagon for certain things but i don't give a f*ck, im celelbrationg achievement and getting in the Olympic spirit! No affiliation to Brasil and you will catch me cheering them on certain times!I cheered for Christine in the 400m final over the Jamaican because i have followed her story more, as i said there are various reasons why i support whoever, but its all love for everyone.
