I'm not offended, its just a flag that used to be used to represent something else but now supports a speedway team in a positive way.
I think burning books, and flags, is a bit dumb.
I also think skulls and flames are cool and I'm not even a Satan worshiper.

My God people. Oh nuts, probably shouldn't say God. darn, prob shouldn't say nuts either, let alone darn
Grow up snowflakes. darn, it is only Autumn and snowflakes. Now I am deeming them to die, Crap, now Gretta can chime in.
It can go on and on.
The rebels never chose the flag to aling with the white suprmecy round things. Some would suggest Vegas is far from the white supremecy.
The Rotorua Rebels/Rascals teams and supporters are supporting their team and not some historical American round things.
Long last the Rebels flag as it is only relevant to NZ speedway in NZ eyes.

Some of my words were auto changed. Funnily enough God wasn't one of them.
Go figure.

Personally I like the rebel flag and I hope Rotorua sticks with it. hope they make it more prominent. next it'll be the German style helmets some of the sprintcar pushers wear that will offend someone. I had an uncle who used to shoot people wearing those, probably still would. |

The Rotorua Rebels slogan has been with them for many many years and i doubt there was ever any bad intentions with using the rebels flag .
I cant see any reason why it should be changed at all .

the flag is synonymous with the name 'rebels', that'll be why it was choosen all those years ago. Back then no-one would know that people would try to hi-jack it for their own means.

I cant see any reason why it should be changed at all . same could be said for the crusaders logo. They have now changed and moved on and havent lost any support or respect because of thier decision to change. |

The "rebels" were an off shoot of the Feds (gorillas or some now would say SAS/commandos) |

i dont see the New Zealand flag flying at Stone fields Ihumatao
But of course there is another one flying in the land of Aotearoa ,
So why is it that they call themselves New Zealanders under citizenship .
We stood in the trenches side by side and fought for a better country ,but some see it differently in to days world ,just like the Rebels flag ...

Yankies is not and offensive name in America it would seem. tis to the southerners. Try going to Charlotte - North Carolina, Huntsville - Alabama or especially Richmond - Virginia and call the locals Yankees. Actually I reckon if you agreed to it, a few ppl on here would chip in for your one way ticket. Don't worry you wouldn't be using the return leg even if they did buy it for you 😜 |
