The British are coming … to apologize.
With the World Cup taking over towns all across the nation, travelers from the UK are getting a taste of the Red, White and Blue. And tons are offering up apologies along the way.
Many Brits have acknowledged on social media that their assumptions about the US were wrong.
In a string of TikTok’s from across the pond, Brits are earnestly sharing their experience in the US and revealing the media in their country “paint this weird narrative” about Uncle Sam.
“America is nothing like what the media tells us,” said World Cup traveler Oliver Henry, on TikTok as @oliver.henry.w, in a recent post.
Some of those tales told: Americans are rude, inhospitable, unsafe and proud — just to name a few. But folks are spotting a different side to the country, and falling in love.
Host cities have been welcoming outsiders with open arms as they take our commonplace for wonder. Our red fire trucks, Walmart, Buc-ee’s and free refills have tourists in awe of our heartland.

From what I read in the media, that would be Israelis.
Yoots. It sounds more hip that way.
No reason for the Brits to apologize; half of Americans are wrong, too!
Because they see nothing but leftist propaganda.

Just like 80% of Americans!
Al Jazeera? NYSlimes? ( Not much difference there)
They’ll still send us to the electric chair for not having nasty brown sauce splattered all over everything or for not mushing out peas.
GREAT point!
,,, maybe, more likely not. If they didn't like the US they wouldn't give you the satisfaction of such comments and if they hated the US they wouldn't have taken the plane ride or booked hotels. I'm not a Brit and I've only been to the US five times but I can say the US and Ireland are the two most hospitable countries I've been to. A lot of Brit visitors for this soccer play off will be on their first visit to the US and will be genuinely surprised with the welcome. Weigh it up against what everyone knows about portrayls from slanted media.

“He’s got some brown!”

Dang. LOL.
Just like Russian commies in the 80s.
They were amazed and told everything here was fake.
A visit to South Chicago would provide a different perspective.
Lee Greenwood made a mint by doing that. This type of thing has been going on for eons.
The Brits were shocked. "We know that we burned Joan of Arc, but we thought that Washington died of natural causes."
One thing they don't need to apologize for.

Go away.
Most soccer fans from around the world tend to be patriotic and more conservative than their governments.
Maybe some of our own citizens should listen to all these excited visitors who look past the liberal US B.S. chatter.
You think Israelis caused McDonalds in the USA to make you have to ask employees at McDonalds for free refills?
Another World Cup tourist said something similar:
“The headlines will show you a country, but Americans will show you America.”
” it does show the world that we have food in abundance.”
But that’s a good thing, not a bad thing. It’s another indicator of American exceptionalism. We need to rub every person’s face in it, proudly.
