|
|
World series? World f**king champions? The St Louis Cardinals? Baseball? Why do you Americans take the piss? How dare you have the audacity to call a game and championship entered only by U.S and Canadian teams, the world series? Do you guys have any concept, of what the requirements are for a competion to warrent world championship status? Forget calling a sport played only by Americans (bar a few latino countries and those confused Japanese). This is what a real world champion looks like.
This true all American hero can rightly and with the respect of every bike fan around the world, call himself a world champion. This man over 17 rounds, traveling to these places. (note; the venues are world wide)

Not only was this an amazing feat by itself. But he also had to beat a living legend on the track, over many rounds to achieve it. A man simply know as the Doctor, A.K.A Valentino Rossi.
An American rider, Riding a Japanese bike, with Spanish sponsors and the team are based in Belgium? Truely a global effort. He races against Austrailians, Brits, Germans, French, Japanese, Spanosh and Italians just to name a few, and beat them all on merit.
Nicky Hayden (the Kentucky Kid) should be given America's highest honour for what he has achieved, for he is a true world champion. Go Go Mr 69

| ***Nudges you gently*** It is called the World Series after the newspaper that sponsored it. Not because it makes you a world champion |

from wikipedia:
"A recent myth has arisen that the "World" in "World Series" came about because the New York World newspaper sponsored it. There is no evidence at all supporting that hypothesis.[1]" |

Does it REALLY matter? You're really scraping the barrel for anti-Americanism today!!! What's wrong? No US 'caused' deaths in the ME today to complain about!! :lol:
By the way, to the best of my knowledge technically the only truly global competition is the FIFA World Cup. Anybody think of any others were every nation is represented? |

WWWAAAAHHHHHHH!, I guess it could a truly global game once the rest of the world starts fielding better teams instead of letting the good players come the America and live the American dream. |

| Why do some people repost the entire first entry of the thread to say one line? We have all seen the first post, we know what you are talking about. |
