One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He’s pretty much a summary of what’s rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.
The only reason he hasn’t fully embraced MAGA is because it’ll kill his ratings.
MrBeast IS a 13 year old brain piloting a grown man’s body.
I’m all for calling the US/CA “football” as “gridiron football”. I think it makes it seem more “alpha” anyway. (And, “football” alone matched the game play of “association football” better.)
Nope. Hand-Egg it is and will always be.
Since they won, we should rename that bit of water the Gulf of Belgium.
Mr. Beast is an American ambassador for sure! He’s probably yachting in the Gulf of America as we speak!
Americans pretty much stop playing footy at 12 years of age. If you are a talented athlete you probably end up playing basketball or football. American men will likely never be good since all the talent always goes elsewhere.
Footy/futbol/soccer is a third tier sport in the United States and it always will be. It’s by far the single most popular sport in any country that is good at it. Median salary for the NFL and NBA is 10 times more than MLS.
Not even close really.

We have High School teams, Recreation Teams, and College Teams.

It’s not our highest-ranked sport, so it doesn’t get the same attention as American Football, but it’s not like it’s not played in most towns.
K, then why are they hosting the world cup tho
Because FIFA is a corrupt organization.
North America is hosting the world cup.
Not just the USA.
Yes, including the USA. They shouldn’t.
Neither should have South Korea or Japan or
Qatarin the past, but they did.
I am not one to watch football.
But the crocodile tears I am hearing from US and some BS as well made me pirate the BE vs US game :DI find it funny that he says “full stop” too which is a British, not American phrase.
May not be common, but I’ve heard it in american slang. I think its more an old carry over from telegrams that never quite left our shared language.
Did telegrams use full-stop? They pretty much only used STOP, no?
It seems more likely that your man picked it up from a British influence, like a friend or something.
I’ve been hearing it in regular language for 30 years now across all of lower Michigan and upper Wisconsin. It’s very decidedly present in American English, thought it might be less common than in Britain.
I hear it all the time in New England, full stop
But you’re ok with “we calling it”?
With that 4-1 whipping USA has to change to metric.
It was only 1.57-1 in imperial though.
dump is asking fifa to find some more points.
Many sports are called football as they have a common origin (and probably because they are played on foot rather than horseback)
Can we just leave it at that for both sides?
If you want to feel a little better the word soccer comes from English universities back in like 1880 as a slang word for association football. It was used interchangeably with the word football without issue for about a century in England. British media regularly featured the word in prominent broadcasts like Soccer Saturday or magazines like World Soccer. When the sport reached the yanks they kept the word soccer and dropped the word football and the reverse happened in the UK around the 1980s.
The exact same thing happened to imperial/metric measurement lol.
heard a similar story about the English accent, that it used to sound like the American one but drifted after US independence.
not sure how valid that is or how to even prove it
So, there’s some truth to this, but not in the way that you’ve summed it up.
Crucially, you need to understand that there isn’t a “the English accent”. It’s also important to remember that as wildly different as accents in England are now, they were even more different from each other several hundred years ago.
So which accents are we talking about for this story? Well, the early American colonies had settlers mostly from London and Southern England.
This is the accent that then diverged.
At the time, and in the South of England particularly, speech was becoming less rhotic. In the American colonies, however, it retained its rhoticity, as it still does in many parts of Britain even today.
This is further complicated by the fact that later massive influxes of people came from parts of Britain that did retain rhoticity in their accents, in particular the West Country, Scotland and Ireland (incidentally, all which still have it today).
So, like I said, there’s some truth to it, but it’s not quite as you’ve phrased it. Elizabethan Brits didn’t sound like modern-day Boston folk. Americans very much have accents all of their own, influenced by not just by native English, but speakers of other languages too.
So, it’s definitely a neat little tidbit, but it’s usually wildly mistated!
Oh shit apparently this is kinda a thing
All my homies hate FISA
All my homies hope mr beast will get hit by a train
He had a lot of fans. He’s been dropping a bit in popularity with his fan base and the quality issues with his other ventures has tanked his brand.
