ruffdiamond Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 seems bizarre to me that Somerset have changed their emblem, but have kept their name,,, 'Rebels', people that don't like rules or authority and are opposed to the political system in their country,,, some might say, 'yesterdays terrorists' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many black Americans are supporters at Somerset speedway? Exactly, therefore, it must be the white British who are offended. Some people obviously have too much time on their hands. Unless Somerset speedway is planning a team tour of the USA? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Somerset speedway is planning a team tour of the USA? Absolutely, perhaps they could adopt all white hooded Klu Klux Klax kevlars too? After all if there are very unlikely to be any black Americans there, then why not? You are a real visionary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitlane Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well, its an old story now but I think the Rebels did right to change their logo (the guy who owns the original general lee from dukes of hazzard painted over the flag on it to avoid offence), shows what good folk they are and confirms what speedway is all about (and what it isn't about). I like the new logo, very similar to somerset county cricket club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's the arms of the Duke of Marlborough who put down the rebellion, although at the time he was just John Churchill. He gained his dukedom ironically for his part in deposing James a couple of years later. No he didn't; it was for defeating the French in the Battle of Blenheim, and some others, many years later.

It is profoundly depressing that in the 21st century there are people who seem to think that we should market speedway as "the place where it is OK to be a bit racist" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is profoundly depressing that in the 21st century there are people who seem to think that we should market speedway as "the place where it is OK to be a bit racist" What tosh! The only way Somerset speedway could be labelled as racist, is if they intentionally used the con fed flag as a symbol for their club, to upset certain members of society. They would have innocently used the flag, in conjunction with their nickname Rebels. However, it has now been decided that the flag represents all things racist against black people. But the fact still remains, it was just a flag of a country (lower half of a country), at a particular time. I wonder how many other (universally accepted) national flags are bathed in blood, oppression, hatred and misery? Possibly our own? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Terrorist sympathisers?" Wow. That's some leap of logic you made there. Care to take us on a magical mystery tour of your mind to see how to came to that point? just think of it in the same way how your leaps of logic works .you know where everyone and everything that doesn't agree with you is racist , and if you have some time on your hands .one of your comrades could do with a like , his post is looking a little lonely without backup from the rest of the PC brigade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting, is apparently, the flag mostly displayed /used by the KKK, is the Stars and Stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
