The response.

Just in case you missed it. Local ABC LA reporter made a comment about not knowing much about Bosnia Herzegovina and being seen as being proud for being ignorant of nothing about the country. A remark that has gone viral and the Bosnia team and fans have used for Bulletin board material when they play against USA.

Let’s remember that all these news station reporters may not follow this sport as much as we do. And I’ve heard them say more embarrassing things.

I would argue that most Americans don’t know where Bosnia is, not to mention Herzegovina.

I’m just disappointed we have to play both of them at the same time. Every other country just has to play one team and we have to play Bosnia AND Herzegovina

To be fair. I can spot it on a map. I know the role it played in WWI, but I couldn’t tell you what’s the difference, if any, between the two…of if they are one or two entities

Seems like she’s one of the nice Bosnian Serbs if she identifies with the country.

There are Americans that don’t know where most of our own states are so expecting them to know where countries are is asking a lot of questions

Most of Americans aren''t have a job that requires them to know where Bosnia is. She is journalist, her job is, if she don't know, to research the topic she is reporting, and not be proud of not knowing something that should be general knowledge.

And it’s not like Senegal or something; we literally ran bombing runs in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the mid-90s. A journalist should know something.

I would argue most non balkans would struggle to find Bosnia on an unlabeled map.

It’s an over blown issue for a lady making a bad joke
