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?

It is generally accepted that the Holocaust happened, despite claims to the opposite. It is generally accepted that the world is not flat. I'm sure you can find pockets of contrary thought, but that in itself doesn't mean each assertion is on equal intellectual footing.

So....to answer your question, it is generally recognized by those who know anything about American football e.g. the American press, the European press who covers NFL Europe, Canadian press etc.

You propose some conspiracy exists in the media to brainwash us to what you feel is some kind of totally unfounded bias - that the NFL is home to the best teams in the world, hence the winner of that league is the world champ.

The second best football played is at the Division I college level, and it is 'generally accepted' that the best college team (national champion) would get blown out by the worst NFL team.

The US, (in basketball) when it sends it's first team (like in the Olympics) doesn't just win, it wins by a large margin. That's the fact. Where do the best players in the world come to play? The NBA.

I'll exchange views with you as long as you wish, but you assert the same thing over and over. I get the impression you've never seen the NFL play on a regular basis. You'd have a different view if you did, I'm sure.
