Seriously, people love to act like Europe is happy and great and America is poo poo, but I'm still waiting for the first game here to be played in an empty stadium because people cut a swastika in the field or showered players with bananas.

I understand that people unfairly lump Americans together and throw out drive-by criticisms of the whole thing which is dumb and bad and sucks; but doing it back isn't going to help stop it! More likely it will cause people to double down in their dumb beliefs/trolls.

For example, if I were to argue specifically with your comment I'd need to speak for Europe as a whole, but that would be silly considering European sporting associations have members as far and wide as Kazakhstan and Israel.

Apropos of the origin of this, I do not believe all USA persons go around with guns looking to head-shot others at sporting tailgates!

Well of course Israeli teams are in European associations! They can't go to Asia because too many countries will refuse to play against them.

What other regions can we chain this into? I'm looking in Australia's direction

Maybe I'm being wooshed but I'm not sure what this is getting at. I was just using them as example of how diverse and large the group is.
