#(pero es cansador cuando lo usan como excusa para odiar a otros)

I wasn't planning on making a post about this because I really don't like drama but whatever.
I'm argentinian. Not 50%, not 25%, not argentinian ancestry nor any of that bs. I'm 100% argentinian, born and raised in Buenos Aires. If there's something I know about my people, is that they can be intense and disrespectful as fuck. That's true and I won't deny it. Unfortunately, since Franco became popular, many argentinians that never watched F1 became "fans", and there's nothing wrong with that per se. The problem is that a great majority of them think F1 is like football (soccer) and they behave like what almost every argentinian is: a football fan. That's one of the reasons why they're so intense.
The other reason is that we support any argentinian who's trying to achieve something important. It doesn't matter who they're or what they do, if one of us is trying to make it to the top, we will support them no matter what.
None of these are excuses, I know that. There's no excuse for the hate that has been sent towards many drivers and, more specifically, Jack Doohan. I'm not a fan of him but I understand he's human like the rest of us and hating on someone for no reason is never right.
That being said, some of you really need to stop with your hate towards Franco and argentinians in general. I reckon that you feel sad and worried for Jack. I understand what being a fan of someone means and how much it hurts when people try to sabotage them and their dreams. But, in case you didn't realise: you're doing the same with Franco.
None of the drivers deserve hate. I've been watching F1 for a short time and I already know that, if there's a villain in this story, it's Flavio Briatore. Franco is just a young man who's trying to make his dreams come true like many others. If you hate him for that, well, that's a you problem.
