Beak to the left merely indicates that the nation is at war.
Beak to the left = at war.
Beak to the right = peace time.
The eagles depicted on their medals and logo bears a striking resemblence to the eagle seen at the Nurnberg rallies. Those are just Epulets Charlie.

HOW?

Other than being a military-styled eagle, it's nothing of the like.
Main point of the Nazi eagle is the Swastika flag - clearly NOT shown in the picture above.

IT'S A FUCKING BALD EAGLE - THE SYMBOL OF THE UNITED STATES ! #-o
How on Earth is that even CLOSE to a fucking eagle with a Swastika flag?

The Eagle on the purple heart is exactly the same as the one at the nurnberg rally.

Show me one of these scarves with a Swastika on it.

GO TO A RICHMOND EAGLES GAME!

From the Richmond EAGLES website:

"It adopted the name by which it is known to this day, Alemannia Richmond Soccer Club."

Even South Melbourne, Preston, Melbourne Knights etc have dropped their ethnic names.

Don't get all high and mighty about the Germans until you see Richomnd's crowds. They are a DISGRACE.

http://www.sydneyunited.com.au/united/index.html

They still refer to themselves as a Croatian club ffs!

you conveniently forgot "The following year the club became affiliated with the Melbourne German Club" the club is financed by the German club.

They actually have links to images from the preston game there too. There wouldn't have been enough fans THERE to create trouble.

Did I SAY Sydney United?

I'm completely over the 1st point to be honest, it's pretty much been put to bed. For now.
But I can't believe Afro is in here, championing the Germans, with what the Allemania Richmond Eagles crowd is guilty of.

Is it about how many are there, when what I am arguing is how racist/politically incorrect their comments were?

Only takes one person to be racist, Afro.

Chanting Arayan slogans at my Macedonian and Turkish friends, as well as giving "Heil Fuhrer" signs, is wrong. No matter HOW many people are doing it.

EXACTLY !
So how can you condemn other clubs for ethnic backings ?

These people aren't Germans, they're not proud of their heritage, they're proud of an insane dead man.

THEY ARE CALLED ALEMANNIA! THEY ARE BACKED BY THE GERMAN CLUB! THEY CHANT IN GERMAN!
What the fuck other nationality are they?

Well. They keep it relatively anonymous. Sydney United has the croatian red & White checks in their logo. South Melbourne still keep their greek blue & white. I don't see anything acentrically german about Richmond's logo.

http://www.richmondsc.com.au/
Looks like they're called "Richmond SC" to me. But what would I know??
You probably think that south melbourne chant in Greek too :roll:.

Been reading this 'discussion' and checked out Richmond's page, and tbh, the first thing i thought of when I saw their Logo was the Cross Insignia that was on the German tanks during WW2. But maybe its just me.

"HELLAS OLE!"
"HELLAS HELLAS MAKEDONIJA!"
...They do chant in Greek #-o

My next point, beat me to it, tanks a lot :d

They keep it relatively annonymous?

You can't use BOTH sides of an argument to support yourself.
That's called a contradiction.

You mean the Balkenkreuz??

The thing it looks absolutely nothing like?

Well I went to their last two games last season. They must have known someone from FFT was coming, because they certainly didn't while I was there #-o

What, they finance the club. They dont' exactly telegraph it do they??

Now we both know that is a lie.
I have MSN chat logs of you bitching to me about all the Greek chants!
:^o

A mixture between that and the Iron Cross. Notice the flared corners, like the Richmond logo, and how the Richmond logo doesn't actually form a solid cross, but 4 L shapes, much like the white parts of the Balkenkreuz. Like I said, it doesn't look exactly like it (that would be too obvious) but its what I first thought of.

You managed to find it on the website within seconds of my post.#-o

They also wear kits which bear a remarkable resemblence to that of the German national team; AND their merchandise is white, red, black, and yellow.

I told you about the old greek guys at the back drinking ouzo and shouting at the Ref.

Honestly, I'm half German, and going on that site hardly made me get all patriotic. I'd be quite liking to the fact if it were as well, as I'd probably support a German side (if they weren't Nazi obviously). Also, if you want to talk about using the argument when it suits, croat23 said that the Germans had done nothing for Australian society, and now they are the same as Sydney United? Whats up with that?

Shouting in which language?

Dude, I have been to a number of South Melbourne, Oakleigh, Preston, Melbourne Knights, Southern Stars, Dandenong Thunder games: they are all still fiercely ethnic.
AS ARE RICHMOND.

OMG!! The Victoria Cross is yellow and has flared ends, just like the logo!! They must also be english rolayists dogs!!

Well yeah, you told me where to look #-o

#-o That's a load of bollocks and you know it. South Melbourne wear blue but they're not fucking French. Preston wear Red and Yellow, are they spannish? Sydney United wear Red & White...they must be Danish!

I'm not backing croat23 OR Afro.

Merely showing that Afro can't come off like the Germans don't do anything wrong.

Did I not explain contradiciton clearly enough before?

You can't say that South Melbourne are trumpeting their Greek background with their blue and white; and then use it AGAINST the same contention [-x
