I'm out in rural Pennsylvania a lot these days and today stopped by a bar that's usually full of rednecks where I'm only tolerated for being "the strange English guy who follows Manchester soccer." I showed one of the locals a video of the fans running on the pitch on Sunday, he laughed and said "what's that word you have over there, wankers?" I couldn't even disagree when he patted his hunting rifle.
