So you are stating that the "best of the worst" has to be worshipped and it
is illegal to even criticise it?

It might not seem like one since North America and the Far East are
seemingly the only places in the world where the only real sport is
played.
The NBA playoffs are a world championship. The best players in the
world come to the United States to play in the NBA.
The Super Bowl is a world championship. The best players in the world
come to the United States to play in the NFL.
The only sport I can think of that bills itself as a "world
championship" and isn't is F1. It's a world championship in western
Europe, Japan, and Brazil. It's as much a world championship as CART.

Eg. NBA isn't the basketball world championship.

Its not a global sport therefor cannot be a World Champ..
NBA playoffs, are National Blah Association but then all yanks think the
world just consists of the US huh :)
Carts just a series for spics and is in no-way a WDC....
For me anything contained in the US is just a national series, just theres
so many spics in the US you can run your own WC signed NC's....anything that
doesnt have teams, competitors, and doesnt travel the globe or change place
of playing everytime, or on a cycle all over the globe is an NC.....ie:
tennis tour, golf tour, F1, snooker, Atheletics, Olympics, Football WC,
F3000, sailing, rugby theses are World Sports with rounds played all over
the globe with different host nations for each years final.
*** off NBA, Superbowl are just US crap, and in noway have the right to be
called World sports...there are North American Sports with very little
interest anywhere else...I mean we play football with our feet, hense "foot"
and Rugby with our feet and hands, like the other 90% of countries playing
rugby. You dont see masters in rugby like NZ, Samoa, Austrialia sending
teams to the NFL do you, why, cause its just a US series and noone gives a
shit, this isnt a global WC sport....

Again, baseball is the only sport other than motorsport that is
remotely worth participating in as an athlete or spectator.
Self-importance? *** America. I'm stating the simple fact that 3
major sports are fully centered around the United States. People come
to the United States to play baseball, basketball, and American
football. These are sports that have huge fanbases outside of the
united states. Even hockey is primarily a US sport now.
Uh. Last time I checked, baseball/basketball/hockey were all Olympic
events. I'm not sure what more you need as a qualifier for something
to be a "global sport".
Again, the best players from the European professional leagues come
here to play, not the other way around. That makes the NBA a world
championship in my book.
Using the word "spic" in a serious discussion invalidates every other
point you have to make. I'm not responding to the rest of this
***ing bullshit.
