Re: Taking offence

You don't see it in the context that it is taken in?

I don't understand the context at all, what it is meant to suggest to me or others. Is Crusader meant to signify some innate Englishness or aspect of English character? If so I don't know what, but would worry as to what that was meant to be.

Fans going to Euro 2016 havea right to dress as Crusaders if they want. I am simply wondering why they would want to.

You genuinely see a football hooligan and/or racist whenever you see the flag?

No, and I did not say that, but there is an undeniable correlation between racists and their rallying around St George's flag. There is also a faction of football fans who do deliberately seek to cause offence and trouble.
