This might be a dumb question but thought I would ask since I never had seen an answer before...
I always hear this term in use,especially when it comes to the Super Bowl and the winning team is called 'World Champions'
If the NFL is USA only (at least right now) and no teams in the league are from the other countries and since other countries have football leagues of their own (Canadian Football,Austrailian Rules ect) and no players are drafted from other countries - then why is it the SB champs are called World Champions instead of United States Champions?
Just wondering when this phrase was made and why it is called this if anyone has an idea?
Yeah I know the USA is the most well known country of the world and the #1 of all of earth but still interesting of why its nicknamed that.
