#2 The NBA and MLB have WORLD Champions because the best players in the world play in those leagues....anybody doubt that?
Outside of America no-one gives a shit about those sports. You can't compare a predominant American sport with one like football (soccer). Everywhere on the planet it is played and worshipped in astronomical numbers, by all walks of life.
Is being the worlds best baseball team any better than being the worlds best sumo?
