Yours was relevant once too for much the same reason.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
it’s just funny banter mate, don’t you get it. This is a football forum after all and it’s funny to be an idiot
You're really bad at wumming.
It's fun to wind 'em up
youre loosing track buddy
Taking the knee is not exactly similar to National anthem. Just because one political organization started the trend doesn't mean every person in every country should start doing it.
Booing national anthem is tasteless and disgusting behavior. Especially if that team is playing in your country.

Would you boo your own anthem in any circumstance?
Winning with humility and losing with pride, but always having a level of respect to the game and your opponent.
Can understand you get caught up in the emotions, but if your first instinct is to boo, you're pretty much telling the other side to feck off because I'm not respecting you so I'll just be loud and abnoxous.
Playing it off as a joke or justifying it just shows the ignorance and lack of self-awareness.

When I go to watch a football match I absolutely tell the other side to feck off as loudly and obnoxiously as possible, and fully expect the same back. It's all part of the fun.
What about it is tasteless and disgusting?
And every single country is a 'political organization'. That's pretty much the definition of a nation state, including Denmark.
Terrible attempt, but another post indicative of this sense of superiority you like to feel. Try harder.
Booing national anthems is stupid and offensive, there's no debate to be had.
Of course it is. Burn away.
That's the idea, ain't it?

"Football has gone soft. Barely even a contact sport at this point. Players just diving about all the time."
Also this forum:
"Football fans are disgusting. How DARE you boo over my special song."

why is insulting others not okay? It’s just words, shouldnt be any problem. fecking liberal snowflakes who don’t like cnutish loser behavior.
Next is legalizing racist chants, because they are just words. Hurts nobody.
Sure, during the match. Most people do. But there are times when you can just stfu for a moment and be part of the calm before the storm.
Seriously? This forum warns and bans people for insulting other posters...but it's just words. Okay.
The pre-match is all part of the atmosphere.
Am I feck staying quiet so the scousers can have a good sing song.
Do you people even watch football?
exactly, people should stop being so offended over some funny banter. It’s just skin!
Are people on here really that dumb to not understand the political dimensions behind booing national anthems or just ignorant idiots who like to behave like an asshole?
clubs are not countries. Shocking, right? Sports have political dimensions on an international basis
Just a song though, innit?
no?
Is that an anthem? It's a song sure, one that's not originally theirs to claim. But booing a country's national anthem before the match in droves, like it's not just a few people, it's disrespectful and trying to pass it as banter.
anthem: a rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause.
song: a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung
Yes.
You:
"Insulting people is just banter. People are too sensitive."
Also you:
"Booing over a nation's mandated special song is a display of hostile international politics."
Get a fecking grip
Feck that little dole head with bells on.
Nothing against dole heads, just her and her kind.
I too, have access to a dictionary.
Edit: Also, your definition of anthem literally describes YAWN as an anthem.
No, it is the musical expression of the love of one's country, encapsulating at once its pride, vitality and aspiration. It is of vast import and should be treated with absolute reverence.
Also, it's just a song.
I was never serious when talking about insults. It was quite the opposite I meant, actually. Use your brain in this case, anthems aren’t just songs, they’re symbols and part of a countries identity, whether you like it or not. Symbols have meanings and while I might not care so much about what’s important to you, I still don’t need to insult you. Its called empathy and it has been shown to be quite healthy behavior.Yes.

why would anyone think symbols are meaningless? It’s because they do have meaning they are called symbols.
Wait...is the angry German actually talking about symbols now?
My word
My word
It's a fooking song before a football match, it's supposed to be a rivalry. Both sides should boo, whistle and jeer the whole thing.
Symbols are used to represent or denote something. People attach meaning to symbols.
A national anthem is a song. A flag is a bit of colourful cloth.
Attach whatever meaning you want to them, but any meaning comes from the individual, not the symbol itself.
Also, boooooooooooo.
100 times this.
and I’m even half Austrian!Wait...is the angry German actually talking about symbols now?
My word
What have they been through? It was Eriksen alone who had a heart attack. It was shocking when it happened, but he survived with no repurcussions.
Life goes on. People can't spend their lives mourning someone who is alive and well. That is just weird.
I gotta say I loved the start of the England Scotland match. Couldn't hear either anthem. All in (relatively) good fun.
do you know /r/selfawarewolves?
