Reply to comment by Bae_the_Elf in Cancer patient develops 'uncontrollable' Irish accent in rare case: U.S. researchers by Z8S9

I understand. But it’s just a weird thing to say. Imagine the article was about someone waking up with an American accent and someone said “just give them a bottle of bud light and put on a Brazil game and they’ll be cured”. Just because the US support Brazil the most in the World Cup (when the US aren’t in).

I think that the difference is Americans for the most part don't give a shit about Brazil sports and people in Ireland do legitimately like Liverpool due to the large population of Irish people that live there. If there were a ton of Americans in Brazil, I'm sure that Brazilian sports would be more popular in the US.

Sure it’s not the best example. My point is that most Irish people don’t follow football, so it’s strange to pick that as a cultural reference.

I think I just got a bit tilted because there’s a lot of dumb irish stereotyping in the thread which, as an actual Irish person, gets very tiring.
