Re: Tips (wanted) for going to an American Football game (49ers vs Jaguars)

Glad you had fun! Your tight end, Davis, scored a much-needed touchdown for my fantasy team.

Hopefully you get more chances to see games in person. I'm going to see the Packers@Bears next week. ...

Re: Tips (wanted) for going to an American Football game (49ers vs Jaguars)

I'm an American and a huge football fan.

Where did I assume American teams are the best? The best team could be in Canada. Or the best team could comprise a majority of foreigners. How is that an 'American' team? Because they pay taxes...

Re: The "World" Series...

Yes, that is a different and also valid meaning of 'world champion'. The US is NOT the world champion in that sense! Quite right! The nation of the US is NOT the world champion, but the Yankees...

Re: The "World" Series...

You are being 100% nationalistic. That is not a pejorative. You are completely proving my point. By 'world champion' and its synonyms, you mean a competition of nations. Just because that is your...

Re: Chicago hotel/restaurant recommendations?
