H.Y.D.S.M.S Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 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.

SPEAK NO EVIL Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 support your own nation by all means but if they aint on and youre not backing uk thats waste imo, snakey type behaviour, and u know if it was u or me playing for the uk team any decent british person wud be backin it for us.as for supporting some nxt random african country or small island over uk in the name of black pride or whatever: SMH SMH SMFH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Turnover Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Of course I support GB. If I ever got to that level then that's who I would be representing. I also support the caribbean Islands (JA and St Kitts in particular).Naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
