Anyone who has ever been on a J1 or a holiday jaunt to the United States will recall with glee/horror the moment they got embroiled in explaining the finer points of hurling to a native. ‘You have to watch it,’ is often the frustrated best you can manage after the American explainee asks for the eighteenth time about overtime and end-zones.
‘Soccer, hockey and baseball,’ is the best these Tayto and Guinness-filled Americans can muster.
