Reply to comment by NBAccount in Moments before Argentina's World Cup winning penalty in the streets of Buenos Aires by 1Leep

Ya kind of a dumb take honestly.

These happen in the US all the time. Case in point, cubs 2016.

Now as a whole country, ya probably not. But simply because the international level of the two sports most US residents watch are absolutely dominated by the US (basketball, football)

Well, first off, American Football only really exists in America. That's like saying Australia dominates Footy-- no shit.

And I was in Chicago for that 2016 WS win. The insanity was really only in North Side. Half of the baseball fans in the city hate the Cubs. And even more people are completely indifferent to baseball at all.

But, all of that aside, can you think of any sport, or anything else really that would elicit this type of response from a majority of people in the U.S.?
