Certain football clubs fans use the Flag of st george for racial undertones. Big teams like Chelsea use to have big links to combat 18 and other racist groups and other teams in the lower leagues have facist links but that doesn't make the flag racist, we need to take the flag back from certain idiots as their opinions are affecting when and where we can show are national flag as a symbol of pride.
To be honest i have seen worst things, like burning the English flag by extremists not long ago in Birmingham city centre and London, but oddly enough we don't hear that much about that. I don't think its racist as those words are simply stating what it is to be an Englishman, and the flag should connote that.
I'm not to sure about the familar tactic of recruiting at football matches. Racism is virtually not existant at footie matches nowadays. I know people refer alot to to Stoke city and Oldham match when apparently both hooligans firms allied and attacked Muslim areas but alot of it is incorrect. overhyped and quite frankly bollocks.
Besides look to Spain and Italy racism is beyond belief over there.
