They're a very well-supported club where anti-monarchist songs, chants or signs are completely commonplace and don't ruffle too many feathers generally. Celtic may not like being called "British" and their feelings on the monarchy probably aren't the same as the majority of football supporters in the UK (I'd argue that they are representative of your average Scot) but that wasn't the point.
That said the point was that it's unimaginable that supporters at a US sporting event chanting about how they hate their head of state. I disagree with that - someone is forgetting about the origin of "Let's go Brandon"
- hnfong 3y agoThis is unfounded speculation but perhaps the difference is that a lot of people in the US voluntarily migrated there, while we know how the English crown got to rule over Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland..... > I disagree with that - someone is forgetting about the origin of "Let's go Brandon" The US system is "fine" with 49% of the population hating the elected president. The president is not the monarch, nor representing the supreme political ideal. AFAICT the equivalent of anti-monarchy in the US is denouncing the US constitution.
- smcl 3y ago> we know how the English crown got to rule over Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland That's true for Wales and Northern Ireland, but the original union of the crowns had the Scottish king becoming the king of both England and Scotland. But yeah the US equivalent might be insulting the constitution or even the flag.
