> Everyone in the world knows teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona
I promise you that if you go canvas a random selection of North Americans you would be astonished at how many do not recognize "Barcelona" as anything but a city. Football is really not very popular there. Though in recent years it is slowly becoming a bit more watched.
- ktallett 4mo agoI can assure you that Mexicans (where football is the main sport and has been for years) would, Hondurans, Panamanians, and many others. If you simply mean the USA and Canada say so. Football is the most watched sport comfortably, with the odd anomaly like the US.
- SpaceNugget 4mo agoIf I'm refuting that everyone in the world knows x, by showing a large population that doesn't know x. Saying that there is some other population that does know x makes no difference. GP: all trucks are red. Me: no, here's some trucks that are blue. You: but look how many red trucks I see over there.
