Bizarre thing about moving to America to be in academia is all the fancy right-on lefty academicals are super comfortable making sarcastic comments about `sportsball' in ways which seem to me, humble Britisher that I am, like just naked snobbery. What's up with this?
-
Do they make such comments about american football, or about 'soccer'? (And does that sport have the same working class connotations in the States?)
It seems like American football, and not sure about the audience - that’s one of the things I’m wondering about! Popular film representations of it and who plays it make me think its a working class thing, but I didn’t grow up here so worried I’m misled by unrepresentative media.
