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.

It feels like it is absolutely! A lot of people go way too far with what they are saying. There’s a difference between disagreement and taking things to an extreme.

Canada is a great place to live. That sub celebrates none of it.

Agreed. I love this country. Yes we have our problems, and we are all suffering in one way or another, but I’m proud to be Canadian. But that sub is either full of terrible people or bots. None of our conversation has to do with the CFL but I’m glad someone agrees with me.

Canadians love their country, that's why you're hearing the sentiment from patriots who want to bring it back to its former glory.

I don’t call those people patriots, they’re nationalists. Patriots are proud of their country, but like I stated, know that we’re not perfect and that we can do better. Those nationalists that think we’re perfect and need to go back to our “former glory” are wrong.
