It’s a respect thing.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk It is and will always be The British Open, just like it will always be The US Open.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Ireland is in the British Isles buddy

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk This is the type of guy to call soccer footy as an American.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Rapaport, this is the single most nuanced post I have ever seen on this subject. This is what I ask for from my journalism. Respect to you.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Oh, I’m sorry, it was the BRITISH OPEN loooong before it was THE OPEN. What’s next? Pronouns?

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Same pretentious naming system: 1) “THE Ohio st university” -Ohio st. 2) “The U” -Miami. 3) “The Open” -British Open.

He’s almost got it, but alas, is still wrong… If you’re “British”, you can be from any United Kingdom and British territory - not limited to the island of Great Britain (e.g. the Falklands). So the British Open held in Northern Ireland is still the correct terminology. He’s right about the Republic of Ireland though...

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk 1921 British Open would like a word...

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Dan is so consistent and reliable at getting every single golf take wrong. Genuinely impressive

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Look into the term the British Isles. Then look at the term Great Britain. Then look at the term United Kingdom. They are 3 different terms.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Britain is used informally to denote the UK. Great Britain is the island. Then there's the "British Isles" which includes Great Britain and the Island of Ireland. Here endeth the lessson.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Finally. Hope others get it right!

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Dan Rapaport dead at 32🙏🙏

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Is this bait?

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Great Britain is an island Dan, the term Britain or British generally covers the UK not the island, saying Britain is an island isn't correct.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk British Open British Open British Open.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk British Open is factually correct no matter where it’s played in the British Isles

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk You're a fag

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk We call it the Open and RoI is in the British Isles. Only you people call it the British.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Royal portrush is in northern ireland. So factually it is still in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Ya, I’m good. Can’t wait to see who wins the British Open next year

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Wrong, wrong, wrong. Royal Portrush is in Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom or great Britain and Northern Ireland. Numpty

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk 😂 bro that’s wrong northan Ireland is part of Britain 😂

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk So much wrong in one post - and said with such misplaced confidence. 🤡

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Ffs how wrong can you be Great Britain and nothern Ireland. Ni is in Britain they have British passports honestly Americans don’t do anything for their stereotypes

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk The Ireland thing is irrelevant because it's still the British Isles. It should be called The Open because THAT IS ITS NAME!!

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk It's called The Open

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Never heard it called “the open” unless recently

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk I read a novel recently called Dead Solid Perfect that takes place in the early 80s about a fictional PGA tour player. It appears that people commonly used the term "The Open" back then... referring to the US Open.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk It’s the British open, portush is British also

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk It’s the British open. Always has been.

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Great that they are playing it in Ireland, if they are?

@Daniel_Rapaport @TheOpen @benbosk Thank you, Dan.
