And you might say it about pop culture icons. On the other, sports trivia should probably just get tossed out entirely because even within a culture, it's likely going to be specific to fans of said sport on top of everything else.īut you might say the same of political questions about an individual country.
Or if you bring up Turkish history rather than US/UK history, you're once again going to be picking a different cultural knowledge pool. If you swap the football questions with rugby questions, you're just trading one cultural background for another. On one hand, I don't blame them for the US-centric questions - knowledge on specific topics is very often going to come from a certain time, place, and cultural context.
