I always wonder why people from Europe always use "As a European" to preface smug comments, there's got to be a sociology study there. I mean, it's pretty necessary for the context of what the OP is saying. Americans say "As an American" less often because they just assume everyone is an American in the first place. I'm not sure that's better and, come on, it's not like Americans aren't capable of smugness now, is it? Anyway, you guys have almost exactly the same behavior in UEFA teams Do they? I'm certainly not aware of any, and the lack of franchising makes the whole situation different (a team will very, very rarely ever move city. It's basically unheard of). And yes, I agree the original comment was flippant. But citing fan racism in soccer isn't exactly raising the tone either.
