A quick explanation about what "Europe" means

[squealpiggy]

I'm not *******, fortunatly I haven't got **** in my head (yet).

I would like discuss about boxing here, not about your poor historical **** about Europe.

This thread is about boxing and specifically about the curiously American phenomenon of describing any fighters on the east side of the Atlantic as "european".

If you honestly believe yourself to be European rather than Italian then that's because your country surrendered to Europe following the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. Just in case.

This will likely fall on deaf ears but I think that a few especially younger yanks should learn exactly what Europe means:

It means a massive sack of fuck all. A disparate collection of nations who banded together for fiscal reasons by virtue of inhabiting the same continent. The last 70 years since the end of WWII marks the longest period of time that at least some of the nations in Europe have not been attempting to kill each other.

When the football is on do you think that everyone goes "Oh well Italy versus France is just for japes because whoever wins, we're all European right chaps?" Because if you do then you're completely wrong. There is an annual rugby tournament called the Six Nations. Those nations are Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, France and Italy. Is it called "The One Nation cup"? No. Because there are six nations.

We live close to each other and we fucking hate each other. We spent the last 1500 years conquering each other. Our sporting competitions are surrogate wars.

With that in mind it makes as much sense saying "LAMO teh American fiters r 2 gud 4 da EURO fiters LAMO" as it does for a Dutch boxing fan to claim some sort of moral victory over the United States because Carl Froch beat Pascal Jean.

So let's put it this way: If you want to call, say, an English boxer or a German boxer a "Euro" then I can legitimately refer to any boxer from the Americas as "American" or "Mexican" or "Canadian" interchangeably.

you're in Canada Magellan

Most Americans don't know much geogrphy from what I have seen, and most also think we are all the same.

France is as different to the UK as Mexico is to the US.

Heck every damn country is pretty much different, language, food, cars, women etc... Only the currency is the main thing for most countries.

However them calling us Europe is OK in my eyes. Some just don't know better
