In the United States, they don't put players on pedestals just to knock them down. Weirdos. They actually love Christian Pulisic. willfordy25 on the nature of fandom in the US/UK.
Christian Pulisic has been put on a pedestal but not so he can be knocked down again. USA fans actually want him to do well. They’re a weird bunch.
And they love a sporting icon, perhaps more so than anywhere else, and given the opportunity to hang their stetsons on a star player, they will do so. Basketball and American Football fans follow players as much as teams. The United States of America, through Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tom Brady, is the cradle of sporting stans, who are now commonplace in Europe and elsewhere, shouting into the social media abyss about why Cristiano Ronaldo is the undisputed GOAT.
It feels as though there’s pressure on ‘Captain America’ to perform, not because he will be blamed if they lose, but because he feels the need to prove himself worthy of the adulation he will receive regardless. USA fans don’t appear to have that same switch as those across the pond, who will at some point or other decide to turn on their best player, thus making it even more difficult for that player to perform.
