Being 'generally recognized' by whom? Does that mean that the best A-football team in the 'rest of the world' would not be competitive with the worst in the NFL?
I note in the last basketball world championship the US was well beaten.So the American public may get duped by the promoters and advertisers into believing they have the best players in the strongest comp in the world (in A-football, b-ball, hockey, baseball...) so that the spectators feel like they're privileged and getting value for their money. All that hype from the promoters could be seen as propoganda so that the consumers (public) help support the professional league and everyone involved (as in lifestyles).
Across the Tasman, in Australia, the rugby league promoters there always say the same thing - "we have the strongest club comp in the world"... "the best players" etc yet the best Pom
(British)teams have no trouble in beating the best Aussie teams even though they come from a supposedly weaker comp.
So why isn't A-football opened up and a genuine world championship held? Why don't the market forces allow this? I just can't see how you can legitimately promote a world championship if only one country is participating.
