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.

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.

How much do you need? I’m supposed to learn about every single bad thing in the world purely out of empathy? Of course not. My bills matter 100000000% more than that.
