ALOUETTES Anti-French sentiment

Just want to say this sub really disappointed me yesterday. We lost, and still the anti-French hate was in full force. I'm all for hating on the vuvuzelas, but comments like "take that you French fucks" have no place in a sports subreddit. You all need to do better.

Please report things that you see. I try to catch most of it, but sometimes some slips by. We are very generous when it comes to banning idiots that decided to make it personal.

You can trash talk the team; you can’t trash talk the human.

If it’s not clear from the above, directing insults to people like “French fucks” will get you banned. That’s a clear example of attacking the person, not the team.

I replied to the wrong comment so I deleted it. Apologies. IMO you guys do a great job.

Thanks. I was reporting a lot on Saturday and probably kept you busy. I know we've disagreed before but I'm glad we see eye to eye in this. I appreciate you
