Oh, it's just an outlet for xenophonbia, nativism, parochialism and plain old chauvinism, all to live up to the Leftists ugly stereotypes of conservatives.
Besides, no sport can catch on in this country in which we can't call every championship "World Series" or something with "world" in it, pretend the world is competing and always win against the world of our imagination! "Super Bowl World Champions!" Yeah, sure!
To give baseball some credit, it is planning on having a World Cup . . . maybe as early as next year.
Bears repeating.
Soccer threads tend to bring out odd stereotypes of conservatives.

To be honest, when any country in the world can field a team to beat the Americans in football or baseball, then they are entitled to call it a world championship. Notice that the Stanley Cup Finals is not called a world championship. The know there are plenty of countries that can compete at that level. Of course, the teams are full of those players right now, so maybe they should call it a world championship.
Christian.
Helllooooo, ever hear of World Cup.........
