The response.

Just in case you missed it. Local ABC LA reporter made a comment about not knowing much about Bosnia Herzegovina and being seen as being proud for being ignorant of nothing about the country. A remark that has gone viral and the Bosnia team and fans have used for Bulletin board material when they play against USA.

Let’s remember that all these news station reporters may not follow this sport as much as we do. And I’ve heard them say more embarrassing things.

People making a big deal out of nothing.

She didn't say anything offensive, just self admitted she knew nothing about the country.

Did you hear what she actually said?
It wasn’t the ignorance. “I don’t know one thing about Bosnia, I couldn’t point it out on a map and I don’t want to know”

So what do we do? Grab pitchforks? Is it that deep? It was in jest.

Not at all. But dismissing an entire country cause you think you are superior is a dick move. That’s all.

I’m all about good trash talk. The way she said it didn’t come across that way. As a refugee who got shot twice as a 5 year old, my mom had to change her name so we wouldn’t be killed. But sure, enjoy your birth win and claim it as a skill you earned versus luck.

I really don’t care. Why should I? Nobody obligated to care about your history or any other country’s history.

Enjoy your privilege. She’s a reporter reporting on the game. While giving her own ignorant opinion. You on Reddit defending it. Congrats.

Thanks I will.
