    I quote:

    "The explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball at a highly-skilled level was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially the United States. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series". "The Series", by itself, capitalized, is understood to mean "The World Series", in the appropriate context."

    Because it's an incorrect title for the sport? :lol:

    Only joking, generally, I don't care what the sport's called, I just think that it's funny that American's get so defensive over it. I can imagine you'd do the same if it were the other way around.


    Edit: @Andrea, sound. So basically it's just the American way of saying that they're the best at it? :lol:

    :lol:!

    My favourite thing about American Football is the fact that I know a load of people that couldn't give a flying fuck about the sport over the season and then just because it's the Super Bowl, they'll stay up all night to watch it... I'm not even sure they're aware of the rules of the game. Weirdos.
