Taha,

If you're point is that you need us to agree that because the NFL plays in the U.S. and because of geography, this doesn't constitute a "World Championship", OK. It's semantics. Let's move on! This banter is a waste of everyone's time.

And regarding the fans being "hoodwinked" by this contention that they are watching the World Championships, these are not stupid people. They believe that they are watching the best players and teams in the world. They don't give a flip if teams from New Zealand or Taiwan are not included. It doesn't invalidate the achievement of the championship teams.

Your assertion that this is a big "con" because it's called a world championship is irrelevant and inaccurate. Take away the "championship" moniker and it would still draw the audience and attention that it does today. In short, nothing would change, other than you would feel better.
