Anyone who supports Juve more than their local club is a dick.

I don't care about my local club because it's even not a professional club. Btw, i did play for my local team for fun

That's not right.

 

[Red]

Thanks for calling me a dick.

Any time.

I suppose you buy products only locally produced without any exception?

I fail to see how that is relevant.

 

[Gabriel]

Yeah, what a shit comparison.

I would support Juve over San Jose.

I cheer for FC Murdertown.

D.C. united then?

But San Jose isn't even local its just the closest MLS team to where I live. Its about an hour drive out to a city that I would be happy to never see again.

How about a few years back before San Jose was competing should I have supported the LA Galaxy over Juventus? A team that is over 400 miles from my location but at that time was the closest to me.

I'll concede that things are a bit different if you aren't from Europe or South America.

Yea the country is so large that not everybody has local sports teams.

I'm sure that California alone is at least two or three times the size of Scotland

Why is supporting a foreign club suddenly frowned upon?

Because the ginger mod said so.

Scotland is a country of 5,000,000 and has around 40 professional football clubs.

My point is that just because San Jose is the closest doesn't mean I consider them local. IMO I do not have a local football team so I can support Juventus all I want.

 

[Red]

Absolutely, which is why I don't dispute things are different outside of Europe and South America.

 

[Nicholas]

Should people not be free to choose who to support without being called a dick though?

 

[Red]

They are free to choose, just as I'm free to disapprove of their choice.

 

[Nicholas]

Are Aberdeen your local club or do you have some lower division club nearer to you?

 

[Red]

Aberdeen are my closest club.

Next closest are a couple of Highland League teams, who are semi-pro.

 

[Nicholas]

Fair enough.

I somewhat agree with you to a degree, but I think for example, Myself,Buck,Jack and Seven( I think we three have been to the most Juventus games in the forum) if all lived in Turin we'd attend every week, just because we live in another country why should we be called dicks because we feel so passionatly about a club but due to certain issues we cannot attend week in week out.

For me I think that comment could be more apt to the ones who've never even made an effort to go to Turin or go and watch Juventus live in Italy.

Yes they should because there can be many factors as to why someone would not wish to supoort their local club. It's not fair to just call someone a dick without knowing their reasons.
