In the article headlined (contemptuously), \u201cWorld Cup Fans in the U.S. Are Sightseeing at \u2026 Buc-ee\u2019s and Bass Pro Shops?\u201d, New York Times reporter Melinda Delkic interviewed tourists on why they were going to such mundane\u00a0<\/em>places.

One European said of Bass Pro Shops, \u201cIt\u2019s just unbelievable. It\u2019s like a theme park and a museum all wrapped into, you know, a big retail store.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another explained, \u201cIt brings everything that\u2019s American into one spot. America is a lot of big foods, a lot of crazy foods. It is driving culture. It is big cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the best part: All the Euros have discovered that the American people are super nice and chill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest takeaway for us is the kindness and generosity of people. I\u2019ve probably had at least 30, 40 people invite me to their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
