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.

But you still have the problem that everyone in the league isn’t necessarily everyone that WANTS TO or CAN compete. All leagues are artificially limited, so you never do face “all comers”.

Which is all part of my point. Once you start thinking “world champion” matters, that it actually has a set definition involving a particular level of competition, you’ve opened the door for increased silliness. Silliness like saying that a world champion must “defeat all comers” and then having to add all kinds of tweaks to the definition of “defeat all comers” to mean not truly defeating not really all but merely rising to the top of a preset heap constructed through artificial means by a group that unilaterally decided they get to hand out world championships.

The problem for you is the more tweaks you add to your definition of “defeat all comers” the closer you get to saying the NFL hands out World Championships.

Tehre you go with the well poisoning and ad hominems again. Shame shame shame. Stick to logic, needing fallacies just proves you wrong.

Brain fart, here’s the sentence I meant: 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 world champions. See how easy it is to admit a mistake. You should try it.

I doubt that’s your last word. And you’re wasting your own time. Don’t blame other people for the fact that you can’t put sports in perspective.
