I think it depends on what you are brought up with. I have watched and played soccer since i was a toddler. I have seen Beckham play at United and many English matches. The atmospehere and the culture behind it is something that becomes ingrained and becomes part of the culture of your country and a bit of your own personal history. Trying to introduce this to other countries cultures doesn’t always work as it’s not a big part of their history. I have watched some american football and i can’t see what the attraction of it is. However, if i watched a game in real life i might see it from a different point of view.

one has to consider modifiers in this equation.
For example, given that these are “politically minded” then it would be likely that more would have a better idea as to who the VP is. At the same time, the fact that they are democrats indicates that they are not necessarily very bright and may well not know very much - spellings of word, addition, etc. -
It’s not just Presdential candidates that are ignorant and misinformed, Gary Coleman doesn’t even think he should HAVE to know who the VP is as governor of California!

It’s probably a good thing he didn’t get elected, then. :wink:
