Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
I love the sounds, the buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place soccer, futbol, it's home.
Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe?
I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game.
The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.
Are they the only ones that don't like it?

Chapter 2: How does the conversation about food preferences develop?
I'm telling you. Fire. Ryan knows. Fire. Similar, baby, similar to fried plantains. It's a sweet plant. It's similar, kind of similar. You know what I'm saying? It's right there. But that was like bolognese and there was a banana next to it.
That's kind of crazy.
A neighbor of my building growing up, he was Filipino and was at his crib and, you know, he was playing video games in the mall and made some spaghetti. And she gave it to me with the banana. I was looking at it like, what? And I tried it. It wasn't bad. Well, that with the soy, that looks like some type of soy base. That I feel like would be good.
But the bolognese with the banana is crazy to me. That's nuts. It's not bad. That's crazy. It's not bad. It's not bad. That's all I'm going to say. That's not crazy. But I mean, I don't know. I just can't eat hot and cold, hot and cold foods. I just can't do it. It has to be at least room temperature for me to... combine the spaghetti and the banana. They got a banana spaghetti box right there.
Yeah, I'm not doing that one. I don't know what that is. That's Ann Cameron. That's like banana flavored spaghetti.
Ugh.
Oh, it's a book. Okay. Oh, that's cute. I got a question for y'all. I don't know. Looking at him on a cover, he kind of, why they got him looking like that is all I'm saying.
Yeah, that's racist.
I thought that was Curious George right there. Like, what's going on? That's racist as fuck. Can we pull up a picture of Curious George and put it right next to Ann Cameron? Let's pull up a picture of Ann Cameron and see what she looks like. Let's get to the bottom of this book. Yeah, this is crazy to have homie looking like that. And come on, man. All right. No worry, Ryan.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Jay-Z's vinyl release at Target?
They ain't sneaking in. You didn't see them until you turned the light on and then they scattered. Yeah. And you never realize how many people don't have roaches. You know how many people don't have roaches, like have never had a roach in their house? I mean, depending on where you grow up.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm sure a good majority. A lot of people don't have roaches. Yeah, like that's like, you know, people like freak out if they see a roach in their house. Yeah, you saw New York. Well, roaches are, I mean, it's more city. If you're like in the burbs, you don't just have roaches like that. That's what I'm saying. You have like ants and like other bugs. But that's what I'm saying.
Like you ever seen a person that saw a roach, the first roach in their house? Like, you was ever with your mans and, like, he got a nice house and he saw his first roach? Oh, he go crazy. He calling the realtor. He called her. Bro, back when I... Roaches never... For one roach? Like, yo, what's up with this?
When I was living... When I was back when I was living with my parents when I was younger, like, and the first time I seen a roach, I lost my fucking mind. But it was because the house next door to us had roaches. Yeah. And they fumigated. Oh, people love that one. People love that one.
They fumigated.
It's the neighbors. Nah, nigga, it be you too, though. No, but... Nah, bro. I smoked them though in a building. You could be super clean and whoever is living next to you, that's your problem too.
100%. They ain't got that exterminator.
Yeah, bedbugs is different. Oh my God. Yeah, they'll tell you in your building if somebody found it. Oh, they did. And I saw it. Yeah. Bedbugs is a whole different thing. I never want to find a bedbug. I find a bedbug, I'm moving out for sure. Oh no, I do put all my shit in vacuum sealed bags and yeah, they just had to bomb my apartment building.

Chapter 4: What are the consequences of boycotting Starbucks?
The oldest Starbucks in America, we waited an hour. And it was a brand new one right around the corner with no line.
Just because you did not participate and not everybody participated.
Man, nobody was boycotting Starbucks. Cut the shit, man. I don't care what 100 niggas was doing. Don't ever tell me what 100 niggas on Instagram was doing. If that's accurate, and I don't know if it's accurate, but 100 billion in sales based off of a boycott is... A lot. They made that in one order. Again, I was not aware of this. That ain't doing nothing for Starbucks.
Starbucks is still popping right now. Oh, for sure.
Chapter 5: How do celebrity actions impact public perception?
So what is the boycott? What are we talking about? What are we talking about? Where does these things actually make any difference at? What are we talking about? If you're going to boycott Starbucks, it's a whole bunch of other niggas you got to boycott right after them. And niggas ain't doing that.
We've had this conversation and that's where, as much as I understand boycotts, you just put yourself in a smaller and smaller box. Because I remember the Starbucks one, and mind you, I'm fully on the side... of the bullshit that Starbucks did in that regard of what they did with Israel, the bank that they had, this and that.
But if I go through every company that supports Israel, I wouldn't even have Wi-Fi. So I don't like there's only so much shit I can boycott. But the Target one, I didn't know about the DEI thing. I would imagine Target is not the only company that... Rollback DEI. That rollback DEI.
Chapter 6: What happens when a child is born with special needs?
I understand that Jay-Z... They just want to boycott Target and still get in the car and play R. Kelly. I don't want to hear about this shit, bro. Well, I guess... All right, can I ask you guys? All right. What's wrong with Jay-Z doing that and then you just not buying the vinyl? That makes too much sense for people.
They can't comprehend that.
And mind you, I wouldn't look at anyone crazy that was like, yo, I don't fuck with Target because they pulled back on the DEI shit. And I don't fuck with Jay doing an exclusive vinyl with them. So I'm not going to buy it. I wouldn't think they were crazy. So what's wrong if somebody's on the other side of just like, oh, I've watched Cole, Kendrick, Nicki, everyone do exclusive vinyls.
And hey, that's where I get my vinyls.
Chapter 7: How should one handle accusations of infidelity?
And I just, okay. Yeah.
People in the real world, like people who just like work like regular nine to five jobs and like they maybe got 20 followers on Twitter. They don't care about none of this shit. This is people who sit online all day and make money off of tweeting. That's their only form of income. And they get pulled into arguments by people from the Philippines and people from Nigeria.
And I guarantee you every one of them niggas got a bunch of Target bags under their sink in the kitchen. A lot of these people don't even be from the country that start this type of arguments and shit like that just to stir up engagement so that they can pay their rent. That's what I'm saying. This shit ain't real. It's not real.
And I hate because they're just going to think we have Jay-Z talking points or whatever. But I don't know. I can go off the action of what Jay-Z has done of the opposite of DEI and the amount of people that he employs every day. I just don't know if this is the fight with Target and DEI.
So him and Beyonce get critiqued a lot, P's just brought up, because they say that they're part-time activists.
They say they participate in a lot of elitist billionaire stuff while at the same time being pro-Black, pro-Black.
Wait, all right. This is where I get a little confused sometimes, too. No one's ever. Jay-Z's entire career. He's rapped. I am a capitalist and a businessman. Where is anyone getting that confused? Well, people are saying that you can't be so pro black and then participate in capitalism because capitalism. It's not my place.
It's not my place to comment on their blackness or their anything they they do with boycotting or their activism. I'm just speaking on what has been out there. Do I think from the outside looking in, Jay-Z cares a lot about his people? Yes. Do I also think Jay-Z is a capitalist and Beyonce is a capitalist? Yeah. And I don't think there's anything wrong with them being capitalists. No. Yeah.
I also know that Jay-Z has given more scholarships to black kids than a lot of you niggas online.
