This US interviewer has no idea who Mo Farah is and after he sets in new record time in the New Orleans half marathon, she asks him 'have you ever run before?' http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/video/2013/feb/26/mo-farah-us-tv-video?CMP=twt_gu
They've already tried that one. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...d-in-terror-bungle-at-us-airport-8433440.html
The ignorance of Americans when it comes to sport. If it's not anything thats only played there they're not interested.
The yanks don't do athletics? So one dopey bitch represents all Americans too? I hope to **** City EGD Aggro doesn't represent us, even if in the post above, he actually spoke some sense.
They do athletics but it isnt a big deal for them. I think even when Michael Johnson was in his prime most yanks didnt know who he was.
Dopey and Americans in the same sentence. Two words never far from each other! The yanks do do Athletics and dominate in certain events, but because they don't generally compete in long distance running they won't be interested. You'd think they would have the decency to have someone interview him who realises he's a double Olympic champion though.
Farahs training partner from the US got a medal in one of Mos races, maybe Farah will help him out at the next Olympics, he's a nice bloke so wouldn't put it past him pacemaking or suchlike especially if he steps up to Marathon distance
