@caseyliss I am using it the other way round!
@caseyliss As a Panthers fan, I now feel compelled to be an Alfa Romeo fan. Of course, I’ll have to get interested in F1 first.
@caseyliss I used it as a Brazilian’s Guide to NFL Teams, but very good nonetheless!!
@caseyliss I agree with all of them, but the KC comparison implies a likability that Red Bull doesn’t have imo. To much of the European version of maga bros
@condie @caseyliss Ha, I actually thought that was right on the nose- "tons of people like them, even though they're a bit racist"
@lawbecke @caseyliss very good point! I guess it’s more the Max vs Pat comparison that I object to. Mainly because I like Mahomes and Max, well…
@caseyliss I’m not a Yank and I love this 😀👍🏼
@caseyliss Agreed ... this is spot-on.
@caseyliss Glad as a European I get to know a few Baseball teams!
@caseyliss I can't wait to watch Drive to Survive tonight w/ my 13 year old! Season can't come soon enough!
@caseyliss Do you have a team you root for? My son LOVES Lando. We are team McLaren here.
@Ampsonic same. Erin landed on Lando first and I quickly decided she was right.
@caseyliss kinda harsh on Aston Martin, tbh
@caseyliss this is annoyingly accurate. Especially the Ferrari comparison! 😐
@caseyliss friendship ended with Ferrari, now McLaren is my new team
@caseyliss Also handy in reverse for an F1 fan (me) who knows nothing of NFL.

@caseyliss Oh boy. These descriptions are perfect!

As a Dutch immigrant into the USA, I am a fan of both sports. My NFL team is the 49ers, but being also Dutch I have to root for Verstappen.

Let me explain: It is not often that a Dutchie dominates in a sport on the world stage. So this is a big deal for the Dutch. We know he’s not the most likable. But he is the best, so most Dutch support him. Except for my little brother; he likes Ferrari & likes to be tortured 🙂

@rjschutten but he’s *so fucking* unlikable.

And Horner makes Max look like a fucking angel.

@caseyliss you’re not wrong. Verstappen’s dad isn’t very likable either. So compared to everyone around him he turned out alright? 🙃 Good thing it isn’t a likability contest. I guess every story needs a villain.
@caseyliss That could not be more perfect! *chefs kiss*
@caseyliss this works really well in reverse as well!
@caseyliss The chef and the something, i forget.
