Why do people (it seems overseas) add the word the when saying Go (yourteamname)?
It sounds weird.
We say Go Redskins!!!

I have no idea for the real reason other than it might be one of those language differences
in the UK we tend to say come on rather than go
I reckon it's easier than that.
We say 'Come on the reds' but we say 'Come on United'. We only put 'the' in the chant if colour is involved. However, there is an exception - Arsenal fans call their team 'The Arsenal' 'cos they're twats.
We never say 'go' anything when watching sport.
Ok then Come on The whatever. Why is 'the' added?Quote:

My theory is because the team name has "The" in it that overseas folks actually say it when referring to the team. Come On The Tigers!!!
We on the other hand probably treat the team's individuals as being the animal, weapon etc that they are named.
If a player plays for the Tigers he therefore is a Tiger and not a The Tiger so we say Come On or Go.....Tigers!!!
i think its a syllables thing for chants
Go on my son !
Go on my the son !
I think i have made my point :cool:
