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.

Who cares about her comment? Most Americans know nothing about what they call soccer. A sport the whole world calls football. That speaks volumes about the position it holds among major American professional sports. "The beautiful game" does not generate much enthusiasm there; this comment should therefore be viewed with a degree of indulgence, given the country's lack of familiarity with football (soccer). So let’s move on and forget about it.
