It's always cracked me up how Americans call their National Sports *World Championships* .

It's like the Chefs winning the NPC to be named World Champs in Rugby . . . (oh wait a few of those boys are!) .

***SPOILERS BELOW***

28 - 6 Ravens up just after half time .

1326440 2013-02-04 03:23:00 The "World" series was so named because of a newspaper sponsor named The World.

It has nothing to do with being a global game.

The general public still appear to believe and gloat that it is a global competition

As far as the NFL goes, not my cup of tea. Still, I have 'merican friends who enjoy it.

That is great news. I'll gladly throw that back in the face of some of the one-eyed Americans that I regularly come across is some other forums :)

1326445 2013-02-04 06:02:00 They talk about touchdowns, but all they do is run over the line carrying the ball, then get points awarded.for the skill of their dance.

But least it's on FTA TV unlike here where rugby is pay TV only. In fact there is a lot of major sports in the US that is on FTA as well as pay . Baseball I think is the only one that's not on FTA..
