Some of you might know that there is a speedway team in the UK that uses the nickname Rebels and uses the Confederate battle flag as their logo/mascot.
There are rumblings of discontent - from a few speedway followers who wish that Somerset drop the flag etc. - but the overwhelming response in this speedway thread is that the flag doesn't mean what you think it does. The flag should stay.
And seemingly a few are really missing not being able to use the swastika any more.
I have been tweeting at the club, and speedway fans in general about the flag issue - and the club has failed to respond and British speedway fans send me direct messages telling me to fck off.
Speedway fans.... I am embarrassed to be one sometimes.
