#46In baseball, the World Series is named after the newspaper that sponsored the original series, a hundred+ years ago, between the National League and American League champions. (they were separate leagues at the time). The New York World. Hence, 'World Champions'.Comment -

#60You're right... The athletes in Latvia and Austria are better than the ones in the NFL.. They'd rather stay and play there for 30k a year instead of 5 million a year in the NFL. Makes a lot of sense...Comment -

#67I agree the term "World Champions" doesn't seem to fit the situation.
Here is what Wikipedia says about the term:
Use of the phrase "world champions"[edit]
Main article: Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada ยง Use of the phrase "world champions"
Like the other major professional leagues in the United States, the winner of the Super Bowl is usually declared "world champions", a title often mocked by non-Americans.[54][55] Others feel the title is fitting, since it is the only professional league of its kind.[56]
The practice by the U.S. major leagues of using the "World Champion" moniker originates from the World Series, and it was later used during the first three Super Bowls when they were referred to as AFL-NFL World Championship Games. The phrase is still engraved on the Super Bowl rings.Comment -
