Please NEVER bring politics into Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation. The EU is not a country, it’s an ideology. All countries in Europe and the world each already have their own flag.
Please keep Zwift free of politics. The EU is not a country, yet. It is an ideology and a divisive one at that. Every person has a flag for their country. What’s wrong with that.
“Please NEVER bring politics into Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation.” So…it is a very good reason to include the European Union flag, a political community which was set up just to keep Europe in peace and make progresses alltogether. I guess yo do not have idea what European Union is… “All countries in Europe and the world each already have their own flag.” That is not true. There are countries like my country which has not flag and there are countries without their own state, like scotland or wales, that they have their own flag. As you say, as long as " Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation" I don’t see the problem to put flags of other political communities like in this case the European Union. I think you are talking just about political discussion, rather than “place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation”,
I agree with you David. Flags aren’t necesary at all to enjoy riding or racing. I think Zwift wants to be an E-sports championships’ reference. So, in order to do that, needs to duplicate the traditional system. But it would be great if they can set up another system for those who just want a competitive non-tradinonal system. For instance I would rather prefer an avatar / icon than a flag.
In this sense, E-sports have the chance to innovate and build up a much more interesting system, away from the tradional and so politicized ones.
I would really appreciate it if you would add the European Flag to Zwift.
My country is Europe I feel as European and I would like to show it. Especially these days were borders around Germany get closed due to Corona Virus I feel it very strong that I want to show my solidarity with all people in Europe. We have to stay together to get through this, together!
