Loyalty to my class or my nation??? (lemmy.ml)

Part of me wants Ireland to get knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Reason: only the bourgeoisie in Ireland play rugby. The working class mock them and their weird accents.

But Ireland have never won a World Cup in anyfuckingthng so maybe now I am a traitor? Should I swear loyalty to the Queen??

It’s one of those things where if the country is shitty enough, I feel an instinct to root against them. I’m from the US, hell I even have a Team USA soccer jersey but when Team USA plays in the world cup I root for them to lose. I get it that it’s not important or anything. I don’t mistakenly think that it’s revolutionary to root against the USA, I just don’t like the USA and would prefer them to lose. Just my two cents on the matter.
