I said it's a common expression in sports. And it's certainly a common American expression. Furthermore, while I certainly would never say ONLY American expressions are valid here as I believe nothing of the sort, that bias AGAINST American expressions is absurd. Like, I'm an American commenting on an American owned and operated site, about something so I cannot use American expressions? Why? An Algerian should be free to come here and use Algerian expressions. Why cannot an American use an American expression without worrying about this "international" community will take it. It's absurd to be honest. The anti-Americanism in this sub is downright absurd and wouldn't be tolerated if it was directed against any other nationality.
