Is it better to be a prude

Ya I'd agree. You need a lot of equipment and fees to play in a league. In JH and HS, this stuff is provided to you if you play football.

Mr tp does not want mini tps to play hockey because it's so damn expensive and the parents tend to be nuts. I vetoed that shiz immediately. Any progeny of mine has to at least be able to skate by 4.

You Americans tend to be a little insular.

Kinda like your 'world series'

Why don't you just say field hockey then? You can't expect Americans to know the customs of other countries? The world will always be more familiar with American culture than Americans will be with other cultures. I can't name a single field hockey player. But I bet Babe Ruth is known around the world. That's why we can call it the World Series.

When you say chips, I assume crisps and not fries. I don't have to cater to your ignorance.

Babe Ruth is only known in India for the terrible synthetic abomination that is called a candy bar.

I'm joking :) I was making a point.

You need to realise that America didn't exist not very long ago and will pass from memory. There is no forever.

Seeing as this is a site predominantly used by Americans, I think it's kind of obvious that one would expect the American terms for things.

There should be a rule on this site that the only permissible language to use here is American.

Yes, of course. His comment about elitism put me in a mood to be... instructive ;)

I don't recall all the indians I've met being particularly small. What about you guys, as modern day adults. Will you pass this down to your kids?

Hell nah brah, my goal in life is to create the next brown Michael Jordan. (See my username)

There is only 1 type of hockey, genius
Looks as if field hockey predates ice hockey by like, over 2,000 years. Unless ancient Egypt had some awesome skating rinks I haven't heard about. They even played it naked. That's ****ing brave- I've taken a puck to the face without a helmet, I can't imagine taking a ball to the nuts with no clothing.

Probably for the same reason they don't call football soccer. Because football is second nature to them, and American football should be called handegg, realistically. Ice hockey is a derivative of hockey, calling hockey "field hockey" thus seems weird, just like calling soccer "European football" or whatever seems weird.

We're the ignorant ones, out naming things that have existed for hundreds (and even thousands) of years whatever the hell we want and then expecting the world to just play along. We're like a five year old that was over at their uncle's house and just decided to start calling his pitbull Fluffy instead of Spike for no good reason whatsoever- the world may play along, but they just kind of roll their eyes while thinking, "Oh you!"
