😮 Taken from yahoo news which took it from the Sky news site. And this guy gets paid how much ????
Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder has admitted not knowing people speak English in London.
The NFL player might want to check a map before he gets on board a plane for Sunday’s prestige game against the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium.
Crowder, who comes from Atlanta in Georgia, may be praised on the field, but confessed geography was not his strong point.
He admitted he did not know until now where London was – or that Londoners spoke English.
“I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries,” he said.
“I swear to God. I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that.”
Crowder added: “I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.
“That’s the closest thing I know to London. He’s black, so I’m sure he’s not from London. I’m sure that’s a coincidental name.”
The Miami Dolphins are play the New York Giants at Wembley this Sunday in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside the United States.

I got stopped in the Lake District by a nice American lady who asked me if I spoke English – I put it down to jet lag but then she asked me for “the bathroom” and I realised I didn’t speak her language at all. 🙂

Public education. Lots of cash sunk into it and nothing to show for it.

Perhaps its more to do with the profession rather than nationality

I think the reason there has been no real war between the United States and Canada, is we haven’t been able to find translators.;) :diablo: :dev2: :p
