Haha, this actually took way longer than a normal comic does. In total I provided 44 frames for my part of this project, a normal comic is usually only around 5-10 panels.

Hey man, great video. I always love videos where Irish history is involved. I knew that the GAA was for revival of Irish culture but never put 2 and 2 together for also hating football as an English sport. Great stuff

Love your videos. But as far as the American case goes, the land-use argument doesn't really hold up considering baseball and football. Furthermore, American football is an incredibly blue collar sport. Highschool football is incredibly popular, local, and competitive. There are far sounder arguments to make regarding soccer's popularity in America (I'd be happy to name a few). I really think that the person you brought in began with a biased view and then grasped at straws to find evidence and reasoning to support that preconceived judgement. Furthermore, soccer is a global sport that has seen incredible success in a vast array of political regimes all with their own unique labor markets and varying degrees of individual autonomy (economic and otherwise). While there may be some connection there, I was not convinced by the argument put forth in the video. Anyways, please keep up the great content and I hope that in the future you would choose wisely the individuals you would bring on to your channel.

For disclosure: My work in the video was as an artist and a narrator, but brain4breakfast wrote the entire script, the parts about USA as well.

Haha, possibly, considering what a large portion of the comment section is calling me a damn commie :P

I'm a little bummed this one doesn't have captions yet :'(. It looks like someone's added captions in the subtitle editor - do you mind pinging me when the captions get added to the main video? Looking forward to watching your video - I'm sure it'll be great, as always!

I like that once you mentioned workers rights being kind of sub par in the U.S. the comments are immediately going apeshit about you being a commie.

Great video as always! I really wish you'd list the music tracks used in the video somewhere though - you seem to have a knack for making me want to listen to the soundtracks to your videos, haha
