well just to make it easier, i do have lebanese citizenship but that wasnt my choice.
as for supporting the aussies, of course i do..just depends on who we are playing etc.. mostly its for the aussies, but as some of you know from previous posts, ill barrack for the underdog sometimes.
ok after having analysed your posts, ive got some questions for you guys..
slim - ok, what about things other than sport? or is sport the only thing that is flexible. like for example not supporting a particular politicians views to sending our troops to a far off land with whom we have no qualm?
hulk - i dont think im being un-patriotic if i dont go for the aussies.. i love australia and all its given me... i wouldnt choose any other country to call home, largely cos i think this is the best place on earth. but is patriotism an innate part of cheering for the home team? cos being unpatriotic is a big call.
charlatan - lol..umm err... ok given that im also muslim, i dont drink alcohol (ive mentioned this in previous posts in other threads). so does this make me less of an australian than say an australian of irish heritage who may drink till they pass out? so in reality im cheering for australia knowingly while sober...the way i see it alcohol is my excuse for cheering for another side.
latch - i'd have to agree, but do other people think the same?
