thirdly he is your stereotypical anglo-saxon worshipping american which a lot of americans are.

going back to the subject can someone explain what did the author mean by brits and ozzie liking yanks?
'Twas a bit daft, punk.

Speaking of punk, this one seems apropos to the occasion:

Ah okay, that. That's something I'm not familiar with.

That's because you're a far right, republican fundy.
You need to watch some college football, and try to understand the country more.

I thought it was because I'm pompous and supercilious.

Actually, is it possible to be both those things at the same time? This has me worried now.

As I have legal power over a USC, I am going to forbid them to watch, attend or participate in any college football whatsoever. Just doing my bit.

Before you can do that, you'll have to persuade them to actually take an interest in it.
