Talk about ridiculous semantics. You said to be a world champion you need to defeat all comers. Again if you want to change that go ahead but admit what you said. You’re the one that made up ridiculous criteria, I’m pointing it out, and now you want to weasel away and pretend you didn’t say it. “Defeat all comers” means defeat all comers, if you don’t like what it means retract, but don’t pretend it doesn’t mean it. Funny for a guy so picky about the high and important meaning of “World Champion” you sure are quick to want to make up new and lesser meanings for “defeat all comers”.
I’m not going to answer your well poisoning question because it’s immaterial.
People make money on trivial things. There’s many trivial industry, tourism, TV entertainment, movies, crafts, out door hobbies, and yes sports. It’s all still trivial. Fun, but trivial.
My point about FIFA, which has been plainly stated multiple times, is that they’re just another organization that unilaterally decided they got to declare national champions. Just like the NFL. You complain about the NFL making that decision all by themselves but ignore the fact that every organization that has ever handed out any title, which include FIFA and ISAF and all your other pet groups, made the exact same unilateral decision. All world champions are the result of a unilateral decision, by somebody wanting to make money on trivial things.
I’m not “weaseling my way out” of anything.
“All Comers” means everyone that comes to compete, as in all who enter to compete in the World Championship.
As you correctly state, there are almost no competition formats where a winner has to individually vanquish every other opponent, so why would you think I would mean that in my definition? You make no sense!
If you win the competition, you defeat all the other opponents according to the rules of the competition, how hard is that for you to understand?
Clearly it IS pretty hard for you, because it appears that you’ve never actually competed in anything but somehow from your vast experience and intellect you are able to tell those who have done so just what the rules are and how their achievements, if any, count for nothing.
You clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
BTW, FIFA didn’t “declare ANY National Champions”, the respective National associations did that based on their own National Domestic competitions, such as The Premier League (England), the Bundesliga (Germany), the Serie A Italy) or the Apertura (Argentina), - The winners of which DON’T call themselves WORLD Champions like the NFL does....LOL!
So, once again you are talking out of your ass..
And all the World Organizations I cited set the rules and administer the respective sports on a global basis and by global consent, and the entire world operates under those rules. So it is not “Unilateral” as you incorrectly claim, the only thing that is unilateral is the NATIONAL Football League (of the USA) staging a SINGLE COUNTRY “World Championship” excluding all teams from the other 49 countries that are affiliated to the World governing body for the sport.
How pathetic is that?
That is my last word, you are wasting my time.
