Why do people get so worked up over the Netball?! (Not you guys, but others I've met). Only 2 countries take it seriously, Aussie and NZ. I had someone say to me yesterday "your just pissed off at it because England aren't in the final!" I have NEVER seen any of the girls at my school in the UK play Netball at lunch times, PE classes or known of any after school clubs! I can understand the patriotic side of supporting the Silver Ferns, but theres a reason its not a professional sport and all the players have other jobs.
 
Also, if NZ had a tiddlywinks side in a world cup of some sort would the media and fans be sooooooo patriotic of it?! Even though its a very, very, very small sport?!

'Cause we're good at it. Kiwis get very defensive... they support anything their good at (sadly, netball is one of them)
 
it is not just kiwis who support sports that htey are good at.....it is all countries...time to think outside that square mate

I don't see whats wrong with supporting a sport you love - doesn't matter if only 10 people play the damn thing.

The one thing standing in the way of me taking up Australian citizenship is the fact that I'd have to support the Australian cricket team. Which is a bummer because I'd really like to be able to vote and get study allowance...
 
who really wants to vote...either way whoever you vote for you are screwed anyway
 
That's true, but at least you get to complain about it.
