Americans suck. It’s no wonder the world fucking hates them.

It’s a shame we share a border with these filthy assholes.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 52 points 11 months ago

As an American, your statement is an insult to assholes

[-] bgmncwj@beehaw.org 21 points 11 months ago

As an American, you're right. I'm sorry. I promise some of us are trying.

[-] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 15 points 11 months ago

It's a shame we slorp down all their propaganda and media of all varieties too.

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 0 points 11 months ago

New Yorkers are like that.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 20 points 11 months ago

The whole state, or even the whole city, isn't all assholes. I feel any sports ball fan group is going to be one of the worst representations of America.

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 13 points 11 months ago

I agree. Sports fans get a bit too invested in the whole thing.

I'm convinced sports has replaced religion for a lot of people. Which is probably for the best in many impressionable peoples cases.

Philly/newyork get the same sentiment from me at this point.

Americans were also acting like a bunch of dick heads to European players in the Ryder cup, very classy.

[-] Lon3star@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

New York gonna New York

If a child molester was telling me what to do I'd be irritable too.

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 33 points 11 months ago

I think they are really comfortable with their molester in chief, and his molester administration. It's a molester nation.

[-] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

If they didn't like it, they'd have done something about it.

That sucks. As a member of the of the American military, you are required to stand and salute the flag of all friendly countries during their national anthem. As a veteran, I am proud to stand and give the civilian salute (hand over heart) for the national anthem of all friendly countries. I was always embarrassed by my fellow Americans who didn't show their allies proper respect.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 27 points 11 months ago

Don’t care what fascists think.

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 24 points 11 months ago

Sore losers.

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 22 points 11 months ago

Poor sportsmanliness

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

The umpires should have disqualified the Yankees for this

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

I can't agree; it wasn't the Yankees' fault, the heckling came from the peanut gallery

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Alright, eject all the fans.

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

That's a plan I can get behind

[-] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

There are other sports that penalise the offending fans' team for fan misbehaviour, delays to game, etc. Lacrosse, and soccer, do at least. It's an effective way to get fans to settle down when their actions cost their team possession, a penalty shot, etc. So maybe don't remove the team, but I don't see why they can't do something similar.
