Mateusz Gamrot says Poland is cleaner and safer than United States

In a podcast interview, Mateusz Gamrot stated that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable, and in many ways more modern than the United States. He criticized American social interactions as superficial, recounting an incident where his genuine response to "How are you?" left someone confused during UFC Fight Week. Gamrot also noted that Poland has been ahead technologically in some everyday conveniences, citing portable payment terminals that were standard in Poland a decade ago but only recently adopted in the US. He described Americans as less hospitable, recalling being invited to barbecues where he would have gone hungry without bringing his own food. While acknowledging advantages for sports careers in the US, Gamrot emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better there, and that his family, including his children, prefer being home in Poland.
