Struggling For A Reason For Americans To Watch

The commercials for the World Cup simultaneously crack me up and make me sad. “Root For Your Roots” is their slogan, to try to get Americans to watch this time around. Cheer for England if your ancestors come from there, or Mexico if your ancestors are from there, or Nigeria if your ancestors come from there. You just can’t cheer for the USA, because for the first time since 1990, your squad failed to qualify. Sad trombone.
