We are used to being ignored by our cousins across the pond, but what happened to commentators being a little bit professional and having some idea of what they are talking about?
UFC commentator announces Jonah Lomu as an “Australian Rules” football player | News.com.au

I guess americans are just never going to get it

here in the US we are used to the 'talking heads 'having no clue ..... especially ,but not excluded to MSNBC ,CNN . Most of our sports commentators are clueless too.

Yes that is stating the bleeding obvious, but what can I expect, sports scholarships to "educational" institutions where the team is more important than the education, from that we cannot expect cutting edge journalism or anything else for that matter

one of the meat heads announcing the World Cup games called Costa Rica an island nation.

I enjoy watching any Latin American country play the game. The problem is I cannot understand what they are saying. I wish I had studied Latin at school.

now for an educated man you have just placed yourself in the same line

good one Tut.
