Don't shoot me down now as a bad racialist/'mericanist or any other ist but I have noticed , not just recently but also reading back through the threadssomething which , to me sticks out a mile.
In discussions about players, the british argument is always " i saw him here, or i watched him there, or he did this is a particular game" or things along that drift.
The Anerican posters tend to also have very strong arguments about certain players, but also tend to back up these statements with stats.
It doesn't bother me in the slightest to be honest, all debate is healthy debate if done properly but I was wondering, is it just something cultural...when I watched the superbowl last week every player was talked about in general terms statistacly as opposed sometimes to what he could actually do on the field if you get what I mean, I hope I don't offend anybody by saying this, I just thought it was an interesting reocurring occurance.
