Should England flags be banned from the world cup?

[purplepoppy]

Football fans from all over the world are in the USA and flying their countries flags so at first glance it seems reasonable that England should be allowed to.

But the English flag is now largely associated with far-right extremists and hooligans. It is a political symbol and no longer a national one. Given political symbols are banned from the world cup should the England flag also be banned?

Too late. Dallas hosted England vs. Croatia a brief while ago and the English made quite an impression. Argentina and the Netherlands left a mark too... Japan mainly cleaned the stadium after... meticulously. But yeah England essentially took over a pub other side of downtown and filled it past fire code, so...
The Brits will have to take their flag back, just as we will have to You don't surrender your national symbols to nationalist thugs.

The Londoner pub, just near Mockingbird station in Dallas

No, they shouldn’t. English fans have the right to fly their flags just like anyone else. Also, I don’t think that the English flag itself is the problem but the fact that people are letting a particular party or ideology hijack it. Some people feel that the US flag is becoming a right wing symbol here in the US as well, but it’s not. The flag should be something that unites us all, we shouldn’t let national flags be turned into divisive symbols.

listen lady, WHO says that and who are those associating it with far right activists? Its the far left, who else. If we associate showing a national flag as right winged, you are a traitor and far left extremist with only hatred in their mind. Stop being an enabler

Yup, we need to fast forward 30 years time and use an Islamic one with a crescent.

Sadly, there won't be any moment before that that a leftie might realise, finally, that this is the end game.

The flag is fine. The placement? Very creative in that picture 😐

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Because loving English culture and history and not wanting to have it destroyed in your own nation is far right?

[Shiprex]

Nah they are just soft cocks who find it offensive

I think the best effect of this flag is exclusion. Someone can have British passport and ID but will be never English.

[Iron_Man]

Sure you can fly your flags why not? Everybody else does

In all world cups i saw this flag representing the English team, so i doubt that they will remove it...

[Danny_dan92]

Fuck the world cup. All it proves is how tribal people are.

the only time I was ever happy to see this question asked is when I saw that pic.

[Chazmatazz269]

Patriotism is considered “far right”?

[Fromdusktilldawn]

yea the, sadly very powerful, woke crowds call them that

[Jackblue]

no, just no!!! It shouldn't be.

[CubaPirate]

The hell nooooo

[SteelToe]

[Paige2006]
