Even this example isn't as accurate as reality. There have at least been a few Italian minor league baseball players, and a ton of Italian-American ball players in the majors. People in Italy wear Yankees caps. Seen it with my own dumb 'Murikan eyes.
But, the actuality of the USA Pro Challenge is more akin to "The Third Largest Co-Ed Team Ping Pong Event in Algeria."
Ask 100 random Americans who Chris Froome is, and I would be shocked if more than 1 out of 100 had any clue. But I bet 10 out of 100 Italians would respond "a 70kg version of E.T."
