tbh I think the support is largely as "bad" as each other when it comes to sectarianism. There does seem to be an element that can't see that doesn't see that their songs are offensive to the other side. I mean on this thread we've got people saying about Rangers shirts at games of the North and then others defending Celtic shirts at Lansdowne, saying The Sash is offensive but the Fields of Athenry definitely isn't, Billy Boy's is, RA songs aren't.....
I actually think that the Republic is also a pretty sectarian state itself tbh. Hopefully that'll change with the increased cultural mix, but being brought up where you had mates of practically every religion you can think of, I certainly notice it being commented on. I also know several Protestants who feel the need to hide their religion in their workplace even in this day and age.
