American teams calling themselves world champions...

[GreecePwns]

Let me tell you, this irritates me the most of all in American sports. When you win a game that is only played in America, you can't call yourselves "World Champions." And the "World Series" is played in the US (and once every 20 years in Toronto.)

Especially in basketball, which is played in Europe and Asia (mostly) as well, you can't call yourselves world champs. Especially when you refuse to play European clubs in real competition.
Discuss.

Yeah... I could organize The World Championship for spiting cherries as far as you can in my back yard you know.

[soundout9]

That is true i wondered that myself but well since the USA is the world superpower we (i mean the teams) can call them/ourselves world champs cause we would dominate any other country anyway1

USA is not the WOLRD CHAMPION in anything unless they have played the whole world...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Here we go again...American arrogance and ignorance.

Have you seen national basketball teams? I doubt it. You always expect to win because you're "USA USA USA" but it's a shock because you don't even care for the other countries involved and think they are nothing (see FIBA World Chamionships + FIFA World Cup).

Because some people aren't jingoistic morons who think that because they couldn't understand geography when they were 6, that gives them the right to ignore the rest of the world.

Also, I think Greece is from somewhere other than the US originally. I wonder where

Other countries play sports too?

How the hell am I 'dissing' this country???

No one has the right to call themself a World Champion of anything until they have literally played the whole world.

You can be a 'school champion' or 'regional champion' because you beat all of the competitors in those divisions... But to say you are a 'world champion' indicates that you have successfully beaten the entire world.

The Olympics is the only time such a thing can be said.

And GreecePwns is from Greece, he just lives here.

At least they can say they truly were "World Champions" at one point.

[ignotus]

So where are all your all-star NBA players every World Basketball Cup?
Oh, yes and your so called World Series... Who is actually world champion in baseball? JAPAN!!!
You don't play rugby world cups (you have your own version for which you stole the name football, although you carry the ball in your HANDS most of the time).
And in real football (European) you suck big time!

Have the USA ever won a world title in a sport that can be truly considered international?

Perhaps boxing?

I'm having trouble thinking of any others really...

Edit: Tennis?

In the Olympics, many... But that means you are only the World Champion for four years...

Quit saying 'you', iggy... Not all Americans are so blind.

The sad thing is, most of America would agree with me. But the LOUD americans are the ones who everyone hates.

Thank you for proving a point.

Excellent point, man. Didn't really think of that.

Then, I would have to say we do well in Chess, Boxing, Tennis, and..... Well, those are the only ones where professional players actually COMPETE against the rest of the world...

Even in Formula One any American driver gets their ass kicked. (And NASCAR isn't a sport)
