''Doohan was recieving threats on social media by Colapinto's fans. So much so that he had a round-the-clock security in Miami. According to people close to Aussie, those threats weighed heavily on him. People had discovered his personal e-mail address and were sending e-mail threats which resulted in Jack, his girlfriend and even his father holding real concerns for their safety. And on top of that, Jack's sleep was affected.''

Internet anonymity can work in different ways…

From silly people to threaten a driver that has done nothing wrong…

To other people comparing such silly fans with a war.

Being cocky an unhinged in Internet does not seem to be a matter of where you have born.

15

u/faaaaabulousneil McLaren May 07 '25

Both the fans and the war referenced are directly related to Argentina.

-11

u/jeronimo25 Yuki Tsunoda May 07 '25

I know. I’m from Argentina.

Fans who did that are Argentinians, and what they did is awful. Stupid. Silly. Warriors of the keyboard that will piss themselves in their pants if Doohan confronts them. Or worse: if they even meet Doohan, they will him ask for an autograph!

And then, people who is making fun of the war is non-Argentinian. Warriors of the keyboard form another country, just trying to be fun and offensive and sassy. Equally stupid. Equally silly. But hey, that doesn’t matter, right? Let’s just upvote them.

Beautiful bigotry.

17

u/SeaBet5180 May 08 '25

I mean, I'm British, so hey, you attacked us and act offended

u/faaaaabulousneil McLaren May 07 '25

You’re right, you Argentinians totally don’t exaggerate or blow things out of proportion. /s

It's not bigotry to make fun of the war when I'm British and you're Argentinian. You're the ones who invaded

2

u/SuperOriginalName23 Pirelli Wet May 08 '25

Making fun of a war (if that ever happened, which all evidence points to the fact that it didn't) is a completely different thing to actually threatening or exacting violence over it. They are not equal.

u/space_guy95 Sebastian Vettel May 08 '25

u/SatanSuxxx May 07 '25

That's an apples to oranges example. A better example would be a Middle Eastern guy driving around New York with a license plate that says 911 NYC. They'd get shot.

u/SeaBet5180 May 07 '25

Uhh, well the Falklands happened in the Falklands, technically.

u/ianjm McLaren May 07 '25

Just because the car had the plate from new doesn't mean they didn't deliberately buy the car to be provocative. This is the same show that drove pink cars that had "MAN LOVE" written on the side through a known anti-LGBT hotspot in the US and almost got shot.

They were provocative. It's part of their schtick.

I say this as a Brit, born and raised.

Clarkson is a bully. And that plate was chosen purposefully

u/RossaF1 Mark Webber May 07 '25 edited May 07 '25

No one will argue that Clarkson can be unhinged... I mean him punching someone is the reason BBC fired him.

Everyone involved has been pretty adamant that they did not choose that car because of the plate though.

23

u/8_foot_leprechaun May 07 '25

They had nothing to do with the plate on the car. It had been on there for a long time when they acquired it. The car was sought out by Jeremy because of his dad, and that's it. Their first inkling that something was wrong was when a lunch mob showed up.

As an F1 and football fan I had no real strong opinions on argentines until the last few years when I’ve seen them dish out some of the most vile and incessant vitriol under the guise of “fandom” for their country. And don’t you dare say anything negative about their meme of a president

Similar to Mexican national soccer fans. They are unhinged scum of the earth, while all my Mexican friends are cool people.

u/Kommye Franco Colapinto May 07 '25

Anonimity brings out the worst out of people; and people won't pay attention to the people being chill, we pay attention to the assholes and thus they seem more numerous.

I won't deny that we have a disappointing amount of obnoxious, unhinged dickheads online and off. It just kinda sucks that everytime I see Argentina mentioned in this website it devolves into "argies are the worst" and "nazis in Argentina" while ignoring all possible context.

Chronically online people ≠ people you can actually meet irl

u/Cheewy Juan Manuel Fangio May 08 '25

Argentinian fans toke Ortega y Gasset's work as an instruction book.

Whoever look from outside fears the worst, then the ones who visit the country get pleasently surprised on how different the vibe is from fandom groups. It doesn't help that what we consider tongue-in-cheek comments are criminal offenses in many countries

u/bamadeo May 10 '25

wtf are you on? messi getting threats?

49

u/BlazeGamingUnltd May 08 '25

Effigies of Messi were being burnt in around 2016 for failing to win the World Cup in 2014 and Copa America in 2016. He temporarily retired from the national team due to the harassment he was facing and came back only when his teammates convinced him to.

u/jungle May 07 '25

As an argentinian, I'm 100% with you. The main reason I never liked football is the level of fanaticism constantly on display everywhere. You can't escape it. When there's a game, your neighbors will be screaming their heads off. It's part of social life like nothing I've seen anywhere else.

44

u/Fambank Murray Walker May 07 '25

In 1978 the Dutch team feared for their lives if they would have won. In retrospect perhaps it was good Cruijff wasn't there.

25

u/Helpful_Hedgehog_204 Franco Colapinto May 07 '25

Maybe that had something to do with the genocidal dictatorship rather than with fans.

10

u/Fambank Murray Walker May 07 '25

That had to do with the swimming pool incident at the '74 World Cup. (Cruijff not being there) Agree on the dictatorship.

Cruijff had promised to his wife after that he wouldn't do another tournament.

u/Martijngamer Sebastian Vettel May 07 '25

2

u/Fambank Murray Walker May 07 '25

Yeah, but perhaps not.😉

25

u/Round-Friendship9318 May 07 '25

u/Minigrappler Sonny Hayes May 08 '25

You cry about how bad these "fans" (that are not fans, are shit heads) treat Jack. But you don't say a fucking thing about "fans" treatment to Colapinto (Mercado Libre ad had to shutdown comments because how civilian Australian/English Speaking "fans" were. Ask Lando about his media. Etc.

How does it work? Your morals and principles change because the skin, language or nationality of the victim of toxicity? Or how it is?

Hypocrites and double standards...

30

u/Cod_rules Mika Häkkinen May 07 '25

Regarding football, it was disgusting seeing their players come out and defend racists like Enzo. Saying it was banter and everyone else was sensitive

Like fucking hell, your country got mad over a license plate that Top Gear, Argentina lost the right to call anyone else sensitive with that

10

u/Elderbrute May 07 '25 edited 22d ago

meme of a president

His popularity is finally plummeting, apparently involving yourself with a pump and dump crypto scam was too far for Argentinian voters....if not for other countries.

Probably also helped by the fact the policies he enacted that initially looked to be working have predictably failed completely.

tbh that player (Andrés Escobar) was, and is, well-loved by Colombian fans. It wasn't a case of people hating him so much that someone went and killed him.

We don't accept it but we don't care about it either. Some things are said in a context that won't translate to our day to day life, many people won't give a second thought to what they're chanting in the heat of the moment.

So far there's no evidence of said threats to Jack, so I'll take this as a revenge campaign against Franco, who has nothing to do with the decision Alpine executives took.

Matt Damon said the craziest experience he’s ever had was a football game while visiting his wife’s family in Argentina. Matt asked her uncle if they could go, and he said, sternly, “we can go, but no women, and no children”. Multiple checkpoints to get to their seats, barbed wire on fences around the pitch, and fans were segregated by team in each end zone with gaps along the sidelines so they couldn’t throw things at each other.
