A good example is his analysis of football ([[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball the non-American kind]]), during which he essentially concludes that it's inferior to UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball because it's a game for poor people and "petty tyrannies", and because he (and America) [[YouMakeMeSic could care less]] about it.

His compelling evidence: the clicks he needed on [[TheOtherWiki The Other Wiki]] to find entries American and Swedish inventions.
