Most other leagues don't call their own championships/titles the "world" anything. American Major League Baseball explicitly calls its finals the World Series. The American NBA calls its winners the World Champions.

For those two sports and leagues, it's a pretty solid argument that those are the best players and coaches in the world at those sports, where the American leagues attract the absolute best talent.

It's harder to make that argument for soccer leagues around the world, though.

My point is that the best in the world at those two sports compete in the top US professional leagues, and that anyone in the world is welcome to participate if they have the skill level. Nothing you've said addresses my point, and you're arguing against something I've never said or implied.

To your point, though, both baseball and basketball are quite popular in the countries of origin of these international players. Baseball is huge in Japan, Korea, and much of Latin America. Basketball is huge in much of Europe, and the Euro League is competitive, as are the national leagues in Spain, Italy, and France. But the young stars from those leagues (and Turkey, Australia, and China) have been drafted into the NBA after having already proven themselves in professional competitive play. So not only are you arguing against something I never said, you just showed up, uninvited, to be wrong about it.

Oh really? Cricket!? Lol.

And Australia was beating them before that.

We beat them so bad, they declared Cricket dead, burned a cricket ball and now we compete for the ashes of that ball.

4: Kickoff, field goal, extra point, and punt.

Though kickoff is the only one where an entire legal play can occur without hands touching the ball, since the others require a deep snap from the center.

So it's all football?

Always has been.

It's football all the way down...

Remember when Forest Gump played football in the Olympics?

So we all agree that England sucks at sports names.

Which ones is hackysack?

There’s two rugby codes and I point it out because we always have to clarify with Victorians which one they mean

Glen Hoddle is having a goal!

Yeah I keep forgetting only the games of chess, military drills?? And American football has strategy and formations, my bad.

Football has a ton of strategy and formations. Don’t watch the ball for a half and just look at the backline and the movement in the mid field.

Not disagreeing with you on American football either. I love watching post game tape.

It does seem fun to be an NFL coach. much less boring, and dangerous.

True, but not at the same rate as American football.
