“One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian.”

I don't know what they were hoping to accomplish, a lot of Americans practically observe 9/11 as a holiday, complete with documentaries showing off all the footage we have

Should have just told the New Yorkers their Pizza is over rated.

WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there

Are new yorkers really that high strung about it? I would think if anything they'd get more mad about like, insults to hot dog carts or something, but that might strike me more as a philly or chicago kind of thing, come to think of it. Maybe bagels? I feel like the average new york bagel is probably a better kind of undersung food hero, compared to the average overpriced to shit new york slice.

Bold of you to assume anyone outside the USA ever even heard about it.

With how loud new yorkers are, I'd be surprised if they went bragging about their pizza to Italians.

Yeah New Yorkers are pretty well known for being shrinking violets.
