They are world champs. Animosity Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM

I'm not going to whinge about the Saints styling themselves "World Champions" because that gets tiresome (even though they're not, really :P)


Actually it is appropriate for them to say they are world champs. Every other nation on this earth, if it wanted to do so could form a sports league similar to the NFL. Same rules, equipment and the like. Since the only american football is played in america, does not mean that the Saints are not the champs of the world, just because the rest of the world does not play this sport.

I would understand if the winner of the MLS championship called themselves world champions, since soccer is prevelant all over, and people got miffed about the arrogance of claiming to be world champs.

Dan. ol' boy. Just let them have their moment of glory and stop feeling like the red headed step children of the sporting world! :P
