I've created a monster!
Signature by rubah. I think.
That's interesting.
I have to say, though, that despite the fact that baseball is pretty boring, anytime I've watched clips of a cricket game it's looked about ten times more boring. And that's just from the clips.
i quite like both baseball and cricket but i definetly dont agree with "without cricket, the United States of America wouldn't exist in the first place." i think thats just another way that the people of britain are trying to show off to America again which quite frankly is getting boring
Cricket and baseball are both extremely boring.
Baseball is rounders. *gets mobbed by a heavy American*

That guy is an asshole to the max yo. He took absolutly every single chance to bitch about stereotypes and why England is somehow better without explaining anything. That is the stereotype that the world hates about Americans and yet there it is...being used against Americans.
Long story short everyone in the world is an asshole.
Also cricket and baseball are both the most boring sports ever.
I hear that.
I think the majority of that is supposed to be taken with a grain of salt. It's satire, and the English do it best. They aren't being OMG SO ANTI-US, he's looking at it with his tongue lodged in his cheek and is doing it well. Trust me, English Satirists do much worse to themselves. Try not to be overtly sensitive, it's not meant as a snide attack.
I don't take offense to anything first of all...except maybe people saying good things about FFVI but thats it. I fail to see satire in the writing by the way it isn't very ironic or sarcasic in the least.
Satire is best left out of the paper and journalism as a whole and should be left up to people who are funny...like sitcom writers and comedians. Although sitcom writers have sucked a lot as of late and are bigger assholes than that guy by just using stereotypes and racial/nationalistic ones at that. Those are the worst ones of all.
Speaking of satire why can't we have great original shows like seinfield anymore? All we have are the same ideas being reused with people that are not funny.
OH GOD! You got me going on a complaining rant about the state of comedy in general now. ;_;
In my opinion it was neither satire nor an attack. It was merely explaining the reasons why cricket never took off in America. What's so bad about that?
EDIT: And I'm focusing more on the second half as I never was a big fan of history.

With the constant anti-American sentiment from other countries, we tend to gravitate towards things like that being an attack. It's become an automated response.
That's what I make of it, at least. I saw it as an attack until I had finished reading it and saw they turned the tables of their whole statement.
I didn't even get that much out of it. He should have just done the whole thing bullet point and chronolically instead of talking about his trip to philly where no one gave damn about cricket and that some fat ass mascot shot hotdogs out to over wieght people in a baseball stadium. It is irrelivant and pointless and doesn't even illustrate a point...unless that point is that cricket is dead in America but any retard could have figured that out.
It wasn't an attack and I agree with that but it doesn't really stop the stereotyping which is my main problem. It might be because that is all I really see in comedy any more in America that any bit of that stands out like a warhead in someone's eye.
This was a worse history lesson than high school. Leave your personal life out of it jackass.
well it's true Baseball = Rounders somehow i dunno why the name was changed for american needs though but the whole thing thjat bugs me bout american sport is football and soccer wtf?
this is mad madder than mad jack mac mad the winner of the maddes man in the world contest
LET THE HAMMER FALL
