I think if you're baiting people about something you don't care about you're as bad as people bandwaggoning a sport they know nothing about. On a human level you have to feel for the guys involved with the team. They will genuinely feel they are letting the whole country down. There is so much to dislike about this whole event but I still think you have to keep that in mind.
But I do care about it - I care about Oracle winning.
There is bandwagon jumping in every country, but I am pretty sure it is not to the extent you get here. The media are the people that fuck me off the most - it is a globally insignificant event, that I am going to suggest that about half of the population here do not care about (for every horray henry cunting about at Shed 10 for the media or excitable Dorris in the work place, I would suggest that there is someone like the majority of people on here, a farmer in rural NZ or or a family in Soth Auckland who are completely bewildered by all the fuss), yet it is headline news, pushing major terrorist attacks in other parts of the world to bit-part stories. It is mental. The sooner we lose, and the whole thing is swept under the rug, the better.
Band wagoning yourself ?
How long does the shooting in Nairobi have to be the headline ?? Headlines come and go
Most of the 3000 members the Phoenix have are quietly waiting till the start of the season, then they will be along stamping and cheering. Then quiet again till the next season. Similar situation here, esp in Auckland.
