Between the Knicks having a historic comeback to win Game 4 and the World Cup starting today, sports are really sporting rn on the timeline.
But for many Americans, it's not just the game highlights and celebrity memes filling the feed, but a German soccer fan whose journey through the American South is the unexpected winner of the internet this week.
It all started earlier this week when an account, FreddyLA7 on X, started posting blissfully about the most mid locations in the United States with the earnest adoration of a West Village girly on the Côte d'Azur.
He's hitting all the hot spots on his roadtrip, and his enthusiasm for American staples like Walmart, Wendy's, Chili's, and Waffle House is seen, felt, and heard by many. Six days ago his account had 11,000 followers on X; today he's at 380,400 and counting.
His discovery of Bass Pro Shop hit especially hard for us Boys.
His abject positivity for the daily norms of American life have reached escape velocity stretching beyond just X.The content has jumped platforms to Instagram, gotten the attention of local news stations, had mainstream brands sliding into his DMs, and celebrity athletes throwing out invites to host him.
The sentiment online is mostly 'I love Freddy,' with others providing further recommendations for other foreign tourists experiencing this great land, such as a tailgate, a Costco run, and tuning into Nathan's annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest.
But some are asking…. is this a psyop?
