That's all he was referring to, was a lighthearted tweet.
He is one absolute cunt of a man though.

The NFL is open to anyone and everyone, regardless of their nationality. The fact that none of you homos have what it takes to make an NFL team doesn't change the fact that the NFL is open to anyone in the world, hence the term World Champions. The fact that the games are actually held in America is irrelevant. You guys are just too busy playing soccer like a bunch of 3rd world nignogs.Quote:

Did Toronto become part of America?Quote:

And no, the fact that the games are held in the US is anything but irrelevant. Even the Toronto game is heavily "papered" and does not sell out.

What a shock, you either didn't read the OP or you just forgot already what this was about.
But hey, who needs to read in Canada? the government will read it for you. Just go ahead and keep thrashing on Americans in a forum that's 90% Americans.
It's pretty simple. There are 32 professional American Football teams in the entire world. It just so happens that all 32 are in the United States. Hence the winning team is world champion.
If any other country ever decides to field professional American Football teams, then this argument will make some sense.
I do agree that it's kind of silly when MLB and NBA teams declare themselves world champions, because many countries do field teams at the professional level in baseball and basketball.
There are 8 professional Canadian Football teams in the entire world. It so happens that all 8 are in Canada. Hence the winning team is world champion.Quote:

The real question is, how many Canadian players have turned down NFL contracts?Quote:

Because I know lots of players who couldn't make an NFL team that ended up in Canada.
It's the same situation with European basketball. Their best players come to the NBA, and our rejects go there.
So why aren't there two American baseball World champions? One for each rule set?Quote:

'American Football' as it's known is a minority sport in the UK. Baseball and basketball are followed even less. The Superbowl is little more than a foot-note in the sports pages. Very few people watch it on TV due to the 1-00am start. If you set aside sports enthusiasts I'd esitmate 95% of the general population don't even know which teams were competing.

No that's not the question at all. America is title crazy. It's wrong to name the champion of a one country league world champions and it's funny that you persist in doing so.
The NHL and EPL in hockey and soccer are the best examples. Both are considered to have the highest level of talent from around the world. Neither league's champion is called World Champion
And just because this forum is 90% American doesn't mean the truth should not be pointed out.
american and canadian teams used to play in the old days...not surprisingly the Buffalo Bills are the only american team to lose.

Sure it makes sense. They're the world champions of Canadian Football. What other Canadian Football teams are going to dispute this?Quote:

It's a tiny minority sport outside of the US, though not from the want of trying from your powers that be.
In recent years there's been a strong push from your end to get NFL onto our televisions and into our newspapers and stuff. Even bringing the odd game over here. Obviously this is all agenda driven and about the $$$$ so can't really blame them for trying.
But thankfully we are a proper sporting nation and won't be embracing a 3rd rate game any time soon.
Was in a pub in London early yesterday evening and there was a lower division football game live on the TV that nobody in the pub really gave a shit about. Was just on in the background sort of thing. Anyway the landlord decides to change channels and puts on a rerun of the Super bowl. This almost courses a fucking riot! But order was soon restored when he soon put the REAL football game back on. Warmed the cockles heart seeing that reaction.
I was also at the England v USA game in South Africa back in 2010 and the Americans actually outnumbered us in travelling support. Many thousands made the journey, was really good to see. Met and drank with some top blokes who really knew their shit.
Well then, how many of the American football players were turned down for their sport of choice. Basketball or Baseball?Quote:

American football is the first choice of athletic rejects. Canadian football is further down the list.

Ted Nugent crapped his pants to avoid the draft.
He also had a bunch of kids he refused to support until court-ordered to do so.Quote:
