Default Re: Jamie Gold...Worst Possible Winner?

Not trying to get all PC on you, ZBT, but why is speaking English important from an EV perspective? I guess in some ways it would make for a better ambassador for the game, but I think a lot of English-speaking people (Americans, anyway) kind of fetishize "fun" foreigners who don't speak English very well. I'm thinking of an Humberto Brenes type here, someone whose funny and playful nature is exaggerated by his accent and limited English. I think it can contribute to someone's charisma.

I agree that a non-English speaking [censored] would be worse than an English speaking one.
