they consider the champions of the nba, nfl an nhl leagues "world champions" of the sport. one possiblility is the fact that american sports are open to all countries around the world (to play for the teams). most of the sports are very diverse, an the best players around the world play in the leagues. thas jus one opinion tho...

Figures. Only American teams, but they consider them WORLD CHAMPIONS of their sports. Oh wait, that's right, the American map of the world is the USA, Alaska and Hawaii.

thats a pretty ignorant statement to make if u truly believe it.
read wut i wrote in my post. there are the best players from AROUND THE WORLD on the teams, therefore, that would most likely be the best team in the world.

As for the American map of the world. That was a stupid comment. Aside from being snide, you are wrong. There are teams from Canada in the league as well.

In all American professional leagues the NFL,NBA,MLB,NHL the world's best players are more than welcome to play if they are good enough. Teams just want to win and will do anything to get the best players they can. If you do not believe that than how do you explain all the hassle the Rockets went through to get Yao. In these leagues everyone knows that is where the WORLD'S best athletes play. Hence why Nomo would go to all the pain of having to retire from Japanese baseball just so he could play in MLB. All these leagues are truly global now and it is reflected by the rosters. This is why they are World Championships. Yes I understand ya complaints about no teams being outside of N. America. But you know that this makes no sense logistically. The Red Sox will win the World Series!

In the N.L. I'm going for the Marlins. The A.L. I'm not really sure, but I think I'm gonna go with the Red Sox. It would be interesting to see The Sox and The Cubs though since neither have won in so long. But I would want the Cubs to lose b/c I can't stand Sam "THE CORK" Sosa. And while I like a lot of players on the Giants Bonds just pisses me off b/c he's roided up like a mofo. I'm still pissed the Astros chocked. And they did it to the f-ing Brewers.

 In rugby, soccer, cricket, field hockey, mountain biking, road cycling and who knows how many other sports the WORLD champions are decided by the countries sending teams to one tournament to compete(Hence the World Cup which determines the World Champion). There are players from all over the world playing in the English Premier league but the team that wins the league title is NOT the World champion, the are the league champion. By the theory according to Americans, that team should be the World champion, right? I mean, Man. U have some of the best players in the World, so rightfully if they win the title they represent the best players in the World so are justifiably World champions. Well, now there is no longer a need for the Soccer World Cup. Yogs, the Southern Hemisphere Tri-Nations is competed in by teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, by your theory the team that wins the Tri-Nations is the World Champion, right? So now there is no longer a need for a Rugby world cup to determine the world champion then. English county cricket is another league with players from all over the world, so according to the American theory displayed here, the county cricket champions are the World champions, right? Wait, how can that be, there are foreign cricketers playing at the top level in South Africa too, so the winners of the league there should be the World champion! Oh hell!! Face it, I can stretch this as far as you can stretch it, the fact that American league champions call themselves the World Champions is a self-given title and means nothing anywhere else but in America.

I was mocking the whole 'world champion' thing.....just because they want to call themselves the world champions doesn't mean I recognise or respect it.

World Champions League Champions... WHO THE FUCK CARES? Damn guys, you're more grown up than this. Let everyone have their own opinions and respect the things they want or don't respect what they don't want. You're not gonna convince the other side that they're wrong. It's like telling a racist that he's a pig... IT WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT PISS THEM OFF. Just let everyone believe what they want to believe and the world will go on.
Go Braves.
