I also like to cheer loudly for my team, yell at the ref to 'get 'em onside' and heap abuse on the opposition. I am even prepared to clap the other mob if they do something really cool.
And i like other people to do the same. If you've paid the freight to get in you should be allowed to support your team as enthusiastically as possible.
But i will not, under any circumstances, condone the wearing of a football jersey by an adult male. Unless you are about to come off the interchange bench (which you're not), take the jersey off. You look like a douche bag!!!
You've all seen the guy I'm talking about. You know, the dude with his Wallaby jersey tucked into his jeans under his RM Williams jacket or the Bulldogs fan with the jersey over his adidas hoodie.
Jerseys are for players. And kids. If you are over 16 you should be over the jersey. That's it, period.
There is only one thing worse and that's the tight-arse who is still wearing the jersey of the guy who left your club two years before. If he has left, or retired, he doesn't play in the team anymore!
Buy the polo, a stubbie holder or even one of those gay things that you stick on the back window of your car but do not wear the jersey.
You don't see motor racing fans wearing one of those fireproof jumpsuits to a race or a surfing fan rocking up to the Billabong Pro in a wetsuit so why would you wear a jersey to a football match.
And don't get me started on blokes that lob to an AFL match with a sleeveless vest on!!!
