Debate with wife: "WORLD CHAMPIONS"

[AnimeAmore]

And yet in the parade they keep referring to them as world champions and on the rings

If I say I'm the king of England, does it make it so?

There is no requirement to be US born to play NFL football. About 3 percent of players are international and the NFL actually grants a roster exemption to an international player for every team. Any player that plays for an international league does so because of their inability to qualify for the NFL.

These teams are compromised of the best football players globally. So the winning team is a compilation of the best players in the world. Hence, world champions.

If the NFL gave an expansion team to London and they won a Super Bowl, none of us would have a problem calling them world champions. We wouldn’t be like …”technically they are the best team in the United Kingdom”.

Was Argentina’s World Cup championship not valid because the tournament was void of countries that didn’t field teams?

I'm not fighting your battle for you. You picked her

 

[CPHawk]

I’d say, dig in, and keep fighting with her over this. It’s what’s best for your marriage.

The Super Bowl winners are world champs, until and unless another league challenges the super bowl winner to a game.

Poker? Dice? cribbage? Backgammon???? LMAO

Baseball has been doing that for 100 years. Yeah, we invited Canada, but I don't see them inviting Japan, Korea, or Cuba to a World Series tournament.

Kibd of ironic it's called world series

 

[Bobblehead]

She's technically correct. Who are we to assume by winning the Sb we can ornate ourselves as world Champs.
