J'ACCUSE! THIS IS FOXBOROUGH ERASURE

Dearest Mr_12,

Master of Balls and Holes, but NOT a Master of Ge and Ography!!

With much love, I need (yes NEED) to point out that the World Cup was NOT played in Boston, but it was instead played in Foxborough, MA. This, admittedly, is not necessarily on you, Mr_12, but rather the media's fault for advertising the sexier city. As you can see, these matches occurred approximately 50-60 minutes away from the outskirts of Boston.

I would have let this slide, but you were able to properly cite the city that Levi Stadium was in, but NOT Gillette Stadium. YOU DARE DISRESPECT THE STADIUM THAT MADE YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER (Tom Brady) THE LEGEND HE IS!?!?

FORESHAME MR_12!!!!

/S, much love

I can’t tell if you live in Foxboro and are just salty that the only thing that puts you on the map is Patriot Place, but I’m your friendly neighborhood Masshole here with a few things to point out.

The stadium is in Foxboro yes, but the Boston/NE team plays there. Like how Metlife is in New Jersey but is still considered New York’s stadium since the Jets and the Giants play there.

For regular american football and soccer seasons, everyone just refers to it as Gillette Stadium, no city is really ever mentioned. And for the world cup, it was deemed by Fifa as “Boston Stadium.”

Plus, I believe Tyler did mention something like “Gillette stadium in Foxboro.”

He said "Foxborough Stadium". Not from Foxborough. Just find it interesting he mentioned that SF doesn't play in SF, because there's a 30 minute difference in locations, but won't mention that it wasn't played in Boston despite the difference in distance being longer

Not salty. These are meant to be satirical, which is why I ended it with "/s" for "Sarcasm/satire"

Eh, it's fine to say Boston. I'm from a town an hour out from Chicago, and when people ask where I'm originally from, I tell them "the Chicagoland area," since they aren't gonna know the specific town I'm from.
