American Revolution

A war between the British and the French, and to a lesser extent, Americans. It was financed by the French, and was won by the French when independence was achieved, how ever the Americans were very ungrateful and did not repay a loan they received from France, instead betraying them by not joining the war when France was invaded by Germany.
"Hey did you hear about the American Revolution"

"You mean the French-English war in America?"

"Nah, Americans are also involved"

American Ignorance

Type of condition that causes Americans to be generally uninterested or refuse to easily research other countries politics, culture, ideologies, etc. Americans suffering from this American Ignorance think that American politics is the world's politics.
Person1 displays common traits of American Ignorance.

Scenario 1
Person 1: OH MY GOD! Can you believe India only outlawed acid throwing on women's faces in 2013?
Person 2: Yeah. I can. They're deeply religious and acid throwing was very common. They don't see women the same way as other countries.

Scenario 2
Person 1: European countries basically share the same cultures, right?
Person 2: I mean that's sort of a generalization.
Person 1: Dude really... What's the difference between Germans and Italians anyway?
Person 2: Do you know about the P.I.I.G.S.?
Person 1: What's that?
Person 2: Just shut up before you say anything else stupid.

Scenario 3
Person 1: WAIT! Some African countries follow a different calendar?!
Person 2: Yes. Other countries thousands of years ago followed different ways to record time, and they're still recording their unique time and calendar today.
Person 1: Oh my god, America sucks! Why couldn't we learn about that in school?
Person 2: Some religions in America follow different calendars. You're just not that perceptive man.

Scenario 4
Person 1: Things could be worse in America. Look at how Saudi Arabia treats women.
Person 2: While that is true, that doesn't mean America doesn't have any issues. Stop using other countries ideals as a scapegoat to not want to improve America.

American Football

American Football is personally by far my favorite sport. It incorporates speed, stamina, quick thinking, strength, and a strong memory. Some of the biggest misconceptions by other countries about American Football is that it is played by fat American men. They need to look up pictures of NFL players. The only ones that even appear to be fat is linemen, and they are some of the strongest people in the world. For example of NFL players bodies, Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is 6 foot 4, (1.95 meters tall) 229 pounds (103.873 kilos) and has been clocked running the entire field at 21 miles per hour, and can bench press 450 pounds. Meanwhile, on defense, no 1 pick Travon Walker is 6’ 5, 272 pounds (123.377 kilos), has a 35.5 (0.9017 meter) vertical, and runs a 4.51 40 time. Just imagine a 272 pound beast running at you at nearly 20 miles per hour.
Also this rugby is tougher because no pads thing is ridiculous. While I am much less well educated by this, I have taken the time to read other posts and learn and hear rugby is much more fluid, which would result in less hard hits. Someone also brought up the point that Teddy Roosevelt, US president and professional cool/tough guy tried to BAN the sport because too many people were dying. Which, is why we have pads. Do YOU want to get hit by a 300 pound man running at you at 18 mph? Also, football was once very similar to rugby and was called football to separate it from rugby and because you use your feet a lot.
Now as far as Americans (I am one) insulting soccer, I mean, it’s a totally different sport. The only similarities are that in both sports, you must be strong (in different places) have quick thinking, understand formations, and be speedy. I have played soccer, and the sport has a lot of its own challenges. It simply just is based more off team play than American football. In both sports, your team while suffer based on weak spots, but sometimes that can be made up for more in football than soccer. Also, I would like to point out that us Americans play both soccer and football, and the ones that do understand the differences in between the games. However, for us Football is much more important. Meanwhile, British don’t even play football, so y’all can shut up. Soccer is a good game; but you know nothing about football so just go back to criticizing enemy clubs, not a sport you clearly don’t understand.

I can’t wait for American football to start up again in a couple of weeks
