Do English people look up to American culture?

[Simon]

when Steven Gerrard left court his fans were chanting Rocky Rocky, in reference to his punching....why weren't they chanting the name of an English boxer?
like Henry Cooper or Hatton. Do English people not think they're any good or famous?

 

[Yvette!]

Coming from Australia, we are suppose to be English... well the Queens head is on our money anyway. But everything is influenced by America these days, I don't look up to it, or admire it, or wish I was an American, its just the way it is.

 

[Emmy the Nurse]

Ha ha ha... no they don't, it's that unfortunately American movies and television is like a cancer spread all over the world.

 

[Marrtha Evanns]

I don't think so. I think most foreigners see Americans as materialistic and greedy and wasteful and exploitative of others who have less.

 

[Toddy]

rocky is not a boxer, its probably one of the most famous films of all time though so that could be the reason!

 

[Clare ♥]

Does America have any real culture??? ....

 

[Pavlovs Dogma]

Find more culture in a tub of yoghurt

 

[Zagron]

american culture is interesting yes, but i dnt think that situation is the one to pick to be fair.

 

[Matthew D]

BECAUSE ROCKY IS A FAMOUS FILM, not an american boxer!!

 

[Simon]

Because Rocky is one of the most famous boxers.

 

[Crucial]

America has all the Media

 

[Jackie]

Because Rocky is an internationally known boxer icon -- the movies are popular worldwide. Just like when I say teenage wizard, most people, no matter where they live, think Harry Potter.

It has nothing to do with English people looking up to American culture. I'm an American, and I guess that although it's not your fault (you were just asking a question), it doesn't really do much for America's global reputation of being ignorant and self-important

Hope I helped (though I bet you could have figured it out yourself if you really tried)

Edit: Oh yeah, and you do know that Rocky is a fictional character, right?
