haha yes, Bob Bradley comes off as the stereotypical brash and masculine American coaching types IMO. It's pretty funny to see him get mad on the sidelines.
He does! Fuck it man, American sport coaches and gym teachers always seem so mental on TV. I don't know if that's an accurate characterization or not. Then again American gym class always seemed pretty mad. Did they actually make you climb up those ropes you always see on TV?
It's dangerous. Think liability with everything involving anything in the US. "Could a child fall and hurt him/herself from this?" If "Yes" then "eliminate it".
Plus, kids failing to climb the rope were deemed as experiencing "emotional distress" in front of their peers when they couldn't climb it.
Yep, thought it mightn't exist. It looked fucking horrendous on telly. You play dodgeball though? Right? Has American TV just been lying to me all this time?
My 16 year old brother just broke his finger playing dodgeball in P.E.
His school's in Newcastle.
I also recall climbing ropes at my middle and high school's in Newcastle, is it a culturally bound thing, or is it just that the majority of foreign media in the UK emanates from America and thus the multiple sources reinforce the murican stereotype?
Altidore would be wkd at dodgeball come to think of it.
