America v. the world

One doesn’t often find penetrating social commentary in the sports pages but every so often there's something worth repeating. From the pages of the Observer Sports Monthly comes a quote from an article about the Ryder cup and specifically about American supporters:

"And they began to look a little lost. If you never travel outside America, you never find yourself in a minority among non-Americans and you have no inkling of what people might think of your country. Discovering this must be unsettling."
