So either the OP is referring in a peculiar manner to somebody else, or he's just got his facts wrong and is on a slightly racist wind up for no reason. :lol: |

Unlikely, given that Mo Farah moved to the UK when aged 8, his father is a Brit, and he only moved to the US a few years ago, after he'd lived in the UK for decades. So he's a Brit through and through, and naturally most Brits would root (or 'route' as the OP would say) for him.

He is no different to the Moldovan that won a Bronze for UAE. I don't care that Mo's dad was born in London, he's not British. I give you an example. I live in UAE, I have a child, its born here. Is that child an Emariati? No. The child is and always will be British. Anyway, It's how Team GB works. Even my beloved England Rugby and England & Wales Cricket club now sign anyone thats lived here for a couple of years. Alas, no it wasn't a dig at Mo Farah I was building up to something else. Mo is a pr!ck any way! |

These two statements contradict each other. So Mo's father was British but Mo's not. Your child was born to a British father but he's British. :confused:
He's not the greatest British sportsman of all time, he's a mercenary. |

Jeez. I can see why you would vote Trump, seems you're uncannily similar in views and intellect.

Re: Would you route for me?
as he did not move to the UK for sporting purposes, Yes.

haha - I am not a Trump supporter in anyway Actually I love Africa. I much prefer it to Asia. He got a British passport for visa reasons only. That makes him a mercenary. Big Mo who is fantastic athlete should represent Somalia where he is born, raised and is from. |
Re: Would you route for me?
You obviously had a really rough week with Vlad the Impaler and Igor. Try sitting on a rubber ring, it should ease the pain.

Re: Would you route for me?
Mo Farah's father was born in London and Farah was just eight when he moved to the UK. He has therefore spent most of his life, including his childhood, in the UK, is British by descent and thus entitled live in and compete for the UK. (I believe he currently lives in the US as he trains there.)
I would certainly root for him. (Although he's a runner his route is mapped out so I don't believe he needs a hand with that.) Eight year old children do not decide where they want to live nor are they mercenaries. The negativity towards him smacks of Daily Mail style racism and Islamophobia. |
