Southerner here: when I lived in Brooklyn, I would talk to any other Virginian I met. They were usually excited to have a fellow southerner to talk to. Everyone else on the subway would be horrified by our gregariousness but screw it.  During my time there, I learned not to make eye contact with strangers, how to push…

This is about British boxing. So why do you keep mentioning the Irish?

I don’t think the term “Indian” is in and of itself racist. The tribes of Virginia actually say that is their preferred ethnonym (though cautioning that they only speak for themselves.). But it’s the use of second-class citizens as mascots that I find offensive. It leads to people wearing red face, inaccurate war…

If Jalopnik needs someone with a little Deutschkenntnisse, I’d be willing to help. For (automotive) science.

I was surprised to see my own beloved Washington Football Team had only blown one lead.

But they were entitled. It specified that the top 4 teams from the EPL were to go to the CL. It wasn’t their fault that Liverpool shit the bed in the domestic league. The rules were unclear because no one, to that point, had won the CL while placing out of the guaranteed entry spots for the next year.
