Why is the World Always North America?


Have you ever noticed how all the major "world" sporting events seem to almost always include an American majority, with maybe a few Canadians or something thrown in? While I certainly don't have an issue with most American leagues or organized events having championship matches, I really don't see how they can call themselves a "world" championship.

A real world championship is something like the FIFA World Cup, where teams from all over the globe have the chance to compete and represent their country, not some sorry red-neck State.

Granted I'm no huge fan of soccer, but at least it's true to it's purpose. Though someone should really tell the Yanks that their beloved NFL Football is not really Football. I've also never understood the American fascination with watching a bunch of men hump each other on the ground for about half a minute, and then spend the next 5 minutes drinking Gatorade and scratching their asses.
