I just heard the announcer say 'the Green Bay Packers are the world champions'. I must have missed when they invited other countries to play.

Anyone who thinks that the team who wins the Superbowl is not the world champion is a dip ****. It's American football. Duh. I hate the sport, but at least I can acknowledge this much.

I'd like to refer you to the link below. It may help clear up that little geography problem you seem to be having.

So why call it the world championship if only one country's teams are involved? I very much doubt the champion in caber tossing, hurling, shinty or whatever other quaint sports presumably confined largely to one country consider themselves the world champion.

No Nick, I am not. 'Little New York' was a term given to Toronto, Canada in the 1980's but what does that have to do with the super bowl?

I actually like the sport, but you're the moron: in order to be called WC, you have to play other nations. It's like claiming that the winner of the "World Series" is the WC when there is actually a World Cup Baseball in which nations compete.

Are their uniforms elegant? Made by Rubinacci?

Once again I missed the "Super Bowl." I was too busy attending a recital celebrating the 100th birthday of Jehan Alain. One must have priorities ... and watching football on televation -- or in person -- ain't one.

+1

The superbowl winners are the NFL champions, not the world champions. Since when did America become the whole friggin world? Even (most) Americans know the silliness of that.
