Who in this thread has said this? You've been jumping to an awful lot of conclusions.

I feel like they were just referencing an announcement that was made last match that you didn't hear because you were watching a different network, and that the animosity is pretty much stemming from that.

Yeah it is, considering travel has nothing to do with being cultured or open minded.



Wut? Seeing the world is exactly how to get cultured. How else would you under stand other cultures if you stay confined to your bubble.

Yea, this guy is obviously either living overseas or has spent time over there and is on some sort of soapbox about "stupid Americans."

He appears to have confused being cultured with understanding multiculturalism.

This is just getting better and better.

There needs to be a New Yorker article about this: "How to get cultured (and shite)."

You used the term gumps a few times. That's fairly synonymous.

One could educate themselves about a particular culture through reading, whether that be literature of that particular country or factual sociological studies.

One could also take advantage of the cultural melting pot that is the US and seek out people from different regions and ask to participate in their customs.

Either way.

You're basically saying becauase someone doesn't share YOUR interests (travelling and seeing the world) they must be close-minded and non "cultured"

No I said it feeds the stereotype

and when people have basically never left their part of the country it doesn't help.
