Anti American sentiment from UK players

  Why is there a lot of anti-American sentiment from UK players toward Americans.

  I was playing a game a little while ago with two american players and two players from the UK.  The other American player had to leave and the game then froze.  The problem came afterwards .  the language and hate sentiment toward Americans that erupted from both UK players was astounding and very insulting.

  If there is a problem with wgt servers recovering from someone from the US having to leave a game, then, It is a problem that wgt needs to address and stop this anti american hate mongering!!!

  I wouldn't generalize like that. There are bad apples in every country.

  Quite right Icon. No bias here. I dislike everybody equally.

  Not all people are evil....only individuals are evil.

  Let me be the first to stand up for our cousins across the pond. Those with whom I am friends with, chatted with and have played with have been nothing but polite and kind. Yes, there's always a bad apple in the bunch, but that can go both ways.

  LOL.

  None from this former Limey. Most of my regular playing partners are from The USA.

  Would be much like 2 foxes and 1 chicken deciding what to have for dinner.
