No wonder why Americans are stereotyped in Europe as knowing nothing about geography.
If you could poll all Americans over 21, âPortugalâ may be in the upper 50% of responses.

Ask Europeans to name a Great Lake.
They canât do it. They donât even think the lakes are good.

Bet more Americans can get the capital of Spain than Europeans can get the capital of California, despite their comparable populations (~50M and ~40M). Does that mean that Europeans are also bad at geography, or just that people generally donât know geographic details of places far from them.

Itâs literally LeBron, AD and trash
Itâs not so much about knowing the capital, but knowing a modicum of world history.
Learned in US schools?
He probably wanted to make sure he wasnât a fuckin nerd.

You would be surprised.
Geography is a separate subject in school in Europe.
I mostly learned it as an aside to history class and since most of my history classes were American history, we didnât learn much about the rest of the world.

Heâs washed, isnât he?
13th in tackles last year and second team all-pro seems ok to me. He should make everyone around him better and $7M seems reasonable to me.

Thatâs better than I thought. I was just going by the few times I happened to see him play. I donât remember being that impressed.
Lol
No argument here
wagner was good last year but heâll be 33. trying to think of a LB outside of like ray lewis who was still pretty good then (urlacher made a PB at that age but was clearly on the decline then and retired the year after)
Von Miller got injured. Lavonte David is 33 this season (yeah seems like heâs been around forever too)
Bobby lost a step in 2021 and doesnât have quite the speed or range that he used to. I wouldnât have paid him what the Rams did last year. $7m 1 year is a good deal for a lock-HOF defensive captain who can still ball. The Hawks had a huge hole at ILB with Brooks likely not ready to start the year and it was an obvious fit if they could make the numbers work for both sides.
Plus his approval rating among Hawks fans is 100% and they will sell $7m worth of throwback stoner-Seahawk Wagner jerseys this year.
Wait what? We had to learn Theodor Fontaneâs âJohn Maynardâ so Lake Erie is known.
