Well, everything I know about american football is from that movie with Will Smith where he tries to save the players from dying young. I don't know how much of that is true, but I still believe this is a ridiculous sport that should not be so popular
It's called a world champion because teams can have players from around the world on a team, not only America. If you bothered to look at the roster some players are from Canada and some more are coming from Europe every year. The NFL is also expanding into Europe by creating 4 expansion teams there. If you want another example look at baseball and the World Series. Baseball players are come from South America from to the Caribbean to Japan hence the name World Series. Also Baseball has the World Classic. Basketball is the same, it has players from all over the world. Try not to stay ignorant my friend.
I'm pretty sure most leagues have players from multiple countries but don't declare the winners as world champions. Even in basketball, baseball hockey etc.
This is how we do things in Finland too. Except then Estonians start to play it too, and beat us and we have to invent a new, somehow even more stupid sport
When all the best players in the world come to play in your league, it's a world championship. Like MLB and NHL especially where 30% of players aren't American (and that's counting Canada and the USA for the NHL).
Actually it’s only a “world championship” in a World Cup which is international country vs country not club team if mixed players. Since there is no international games/World Cup for American sports it’s not really a world championship
The reason football(soccer) is so big around the world is because of British imperialism. They made it then forced it onto the peoples they conquered. Enjoy sucking off the brits ya cucks!!!
Excuse me, but football, soccer, rugby, and whatever nonsense they're doing down there in Australia, all started as the same sport. FIFA regulations decided players couldn't handle the ball; NFL regulations decided they could; and rugby woke up and chose violence. So don't go insulting our godawful version of soccer that only exists to pump Budweiser commercials into the eyeballs of fat Midwesterners who need an excuse to get blackout drunk every Sunday! This is Amurica! Our athletes are supposed to be 350 pounds and have Alzheimer's by the age of 42! That's what peak physical condition looks like!
This should be an Irish flag and referencing the spot of hurling. It’s thousands of years old and literally only those weirdos play it. At least Canada has a football league.
I like football but I've seen the universal appeal of football. Though I do wish other countries would give football a chance, they wouldnt even have to give up football! Football is cool.
Why did you put quotation marks around "new sport"? Is it not a sport because it is new? American football isn't even new, the ancient people played variations of the game in Greece. Also, the Native Americans had their own variation. Modern American Football starting in the mid-19th century.
I live in Germany and play and watch it. But yeah the European league of football is not quite on par with the the NFL. But they are expanding with international games in England and Germany, so does the NBA.
that’s why we’re better. our games aren’t just “run fast, kick ball, don’t get hit”. they’re much more of a chess match. yes, athleticism is a huge part of our sports, but the strategic and tactical elements are just as important.
World Football falls short now with all the diving and faking injuries to get the upper hand on their opponents. I’ve seen some terrible acting by players to get the refs attention for a foul.
So, send the CFL champ to play the NFL champ. Send the highest tier of basketball (Euro league I assume) to play the NBA champ. All sports leagues aside from MLS attract the top athletes in all sports because of the amount of disposable income. When the NBA sends its top teams abroad for scrimmages it's typically against a national team. The best non nba players the country has to offer. Happens with NCAA basketball teams as well. So, yeah, send over the best teams from the lesser leagues and beat the Golden State warriors in a 7 game series and then you can say Euro basket is for the world championship. There's a reason Luka left Euro league to come to the NBA. Just saying...
Define “mainstream”. If we’re talking America than yeah. If we’re talking the rest of the world then Rugby or Australian Rules would probably take the cake
Maybe there will be a world championship one day. The NFL dipped a toe in Europe and the feedback in Munich was incredible. So we might see more of it in the future. On my personal opinion hopefully. I prefere it over soccer and visiting a patriots game vs the panthers in Boston was one of my most precious memory’s from my trip there. I mean more Sport more good am I right?
lol I remember when people used to laugh at shit like this and the comments were just people making jokes and memes, now the comments are filled with butthurt people angry at op for making fun of something they like.
I mean if you're talking about grid iron football...thats not even American bro that's a candian sport. On our 100th something grey cup and we hold in annually just as the NFL does. Proper title would be "steal sports from other countries and call it ours"
downvote this comment if the meme sucks. upvote it and I'll go away.
O B L O N G S P H E R O I D
Isn't that describing a football? World champions are normally referring to baseball...
"Footoblongspheroid" just lacks a certain something...
It’s a prolate spheroid I think you’re thinking of a oblate spheroid which is the opposite kind of spheroid
Amd nothing ball about it
Calling an American football a "spheroid" is a bit generous. If that's a spheroid then so is a cube.
You know that but you don't know geography?
what... u mean like Rugby??
[удалено]
Australian football would be a better example
I don't get what you're trying to say with this....England invented Rugby, the whole world plays it and England hardly ever wins
Rugby isn’t American, my man
Do I?
Nothing like a little Freedom Ball to go with your Freedom Bird! Fuck yeah 'Murica 🥲
FBI on its way to your house to make sure you don't have a bald eagle on the grill
Freedom balls.
Why call world champion? No one else plays it.
Yeah no one in America cares much about being the "world champion" in their sports, they're content with just enjoying it amongst themselves.
Because players in the league come from around the world. Same as baseball, basketball, hockey.
They are Super bowl champions. No one is calling them world champions.
they don't call it that. they say "super bowl champion" and technically it is a world championship, but that's not its official name.
Miss and Mr. Universe
Who else is beating them?
Can you find me where the NFL claims the super bowl winner is the world champion?
Because to many Americans, the world ends at the US border
How many super bowls has the UK won?
Every country in the world belongs to America, so technically 55
Well GB has won 4…
No other country can afford an NFL team and stadium.
UK be like: invent new sport -> everybody plays it -> lose at it every year
Beta move
Simply too chadpilled for the rest of the world to comprehend
The most based reply

There are more nationalities represented in the Premier League (
This is so dumb.
I'm pretty sure most leagues have players from multiple countries but don't declare the winners as world champions. Even in basketball, baseball hockey etc.
That's so incredibly stupid. By that logic every champions league is algo a world cup, because players from all over the world play in these teams...
It still doesn't make sense my guy
Fuck off yank
Idc man is just a meme
This is how we do things in Finland too. Except then Estonians start to play it too, and beat us and we have to invent a new, somehow even more stupid sport
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
Laughs in Ginóbili, then cries because he retired
Am I the only one that remembers that the go brrr meme has a meaning? It literally has no relevance to this particular shitpost.
That's why is called shit post
Cope and seethe that your country has never won an SEC Championship. USA USA USA USA USA
So you guys are too lazy to google why it's called that?
When all the best players in the world come to play in your league, it's a world championship. Like MLB and NHL especially where 30% of players aren't American (and that's counting Canada and the USA for the NHL).
So the premier league is a world championship of football (soccer)? Cause that has way more nationalities than nfl.
Actually it’s only a “world championship” in a World Cup which is international country vs country not club team if mixed players. Since there is no international games/World Cup for American sports it’s not really a world championship
At least we don’t suck at every sport like England
Baseball is played in Japan and many Latin American countries
CFL has also been around longer than NFL.
I'd still fucking lose
Can we end the “goes brrr” thing? It’s lame and overused.
Well, what do you propose as an alternative to “goes brrr”?
Europoors and Asianerds and Upside Downers and Africants and South Americunts btfo
Basketball and baseball are pretty popular last I checked. Football too even
Both sports are popular in Asia, look at how Filipinos and Chinese go crazy about Basketball
Actually baseball is really popular in Japan. And basketball is really popular in ... North korea
A more proper would be is China and the Philippines, look at their market
And name it after an already existing sport
Like Soccer?
Maybe because they inspired themselves from that sport
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reason football(soccer) is so big around the world is because of British imperialism. They made it then forced it onto the peoples they conquered. Enjoy sucking off the brits ya cucks!!!
Yes of course, they imperialized all of Europe and South America and forced them to play football. Those terrible Britains!
WOOOOOOOH YEAH AMERICA 🇺🇸
USA undefeated, let's go
I thought England had a football league...I remember seeing them on madden games.
Other countries: we hate your weird game!
Excuse me, but football, soccer, rugby, and whatever nonsense they're doing down there in Australia, all started as the same sport. FIFA regulations decided players couldn't handle the ball; NFL regulations decided they could; and rugby woke up and chose violence.

Actually Australian football was also inspired by an Aboriginal game commonly called marngrook' as well as Gaelic football.
redditor moment
"America would destroy in soccer/football!!!!!"
I have touched the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Think about it. If nobody else challenges you, are you not the world champion?
International baseball would go so fucking hard ngl
This should be an Irish flag and referencing the spot of hurling. It’s thousands of years old and literally only those weirdos play it. At least Canada has a football league.
I like football but I've seen the universal appeal of football. Though I do wish other countries would give football a chance, they wouldnt even have to give up football! Football is cool.
Excuse me.
Japanese people really like baseball though
Distant angy AFL Footy sounds
OUR BANNERS FLY HIGH FROM DAWN TO DARK. DOWN AT KARDINIA PAAAAARK!
At least we never have to host hand-egg game in Qatar
Why did you put quotation marks around "new sport"? Is it not a sport because it is new? American football isn't even new, the ancient people played variations of the game in Greece. Also, the Native Americans had their own variation. Modern American Football starting in the mid-19th century.
This joke is more stale than the spices in the front page that expired in 1977.
I live in Germany and play and watch it. But yeah the European league of football is not quite on par with the the NFL. But they are expanding with international games in England and Germany, so does the NBA.
so many pauses and timeouts for american sports that using them is its own tedious minigame
that’s why we’re better. our games aren’t just “run fast, kick ball, don’t get hit”. they’re much more of a chess match. yes, athleticism is a huge part of our sports, but the strategic and tactical elements are just as important.
This is how I became the world champion of Basestick Puck Handball
An outstanding move
World Football falls short now with all the diving and faking injuries to get the upper hand on their opponents. I’ve seen some terrible acting by players to get the refs attention for a foul.
Faz o pombo pruprupru
American basketball
Not to be the “actually” guy but Europe does have its own Egg Ball League. So much so that NFL is going to inevitably expand to Europe.
So, send the CFL champ to play the NFL champ. Send the highest tier of basketball (Euro league I assume) to play the NBA champ. All sports leagues aside from MLS attract the top athletes in all sports because of the amount of disposable income. When the NBA sends its top teams abroad for scrimmages it's typically against a national team. The best non nba players the country has to offer. Happens with NCAA basketball teams as well.

There's a reason Luka left Euro league to come to the NBA. Just saying...
It’s obviously hockey no one wants to play that
The British has a football league...
Then those other countries lose by default. Whats the confusion?
O
If you’re referring to American football m, we play it in Canada too
See this is where England fucked up. If you invent a sport everyone plays they might beat you at it
Fruit Boofing champ 3 years running
What about 1992 and 1993
Lmaoooooooo
You say that as if a rugby ball isn't the same general shape and isn't played around the world.
Nothing personnel kid
I mean there is a Canadian baseball team
Technically their champions of the universe.
Baseball bitches bring it 😎
Superb owl 🦉
No other country can play it
You’re obsessively making Wojak memes about people across the world enjoying themselves, who’s the real winner here?
Be the most dangerous mainstream sport and let little kids play it.
Define “mainstream”. If we’re talking America than yeah. If we’re talking the rest of the world then Rugby or Australian Rules would probably take the cake
well, thats a rather ingenious plan
Australia be like
Twerking
As an American its not a ball. Its an egg
Finally now I can do Grizzly Bear Skeet Shooting
Also the loser...
Find me a non American football team that can beat an nfl team and then this argument might hold water.
Rugby
Maybe there will be a world championship one day. The NFL dipped a toe in Europe and the feedback in Munich was incredible. So we might see more of it in the future. On my personal opinion hopefully. I prefere it over soccer and visiting a patriots game vs the panthers in Boston was one of my most precious memory’s from my trip there. I mean more Sport more good am I right?
Is it handegg?
I love going into the comment section on a post that makes fun of a countrie and laughing at how defensive people get over a meme lmao.
Meanwhile: Afghans throwing dead goats in holes while riding on a horse and tackling eachother.

At least in baseball we have the Blue Jays.
Mom said it was my turn to repost
Canada invented it.

Canada is a part of America bruh
lol I remember when people used to laugh at shit like this and the comments were just people making jokes and memes, now the comments are filled with butthurt people angry at op for making fun of something they like.
"world series" JAJAJAJAJAJA. Haganse culiar pinches gringos culeros.
It's not even a 'Ball'.
The hand egg wrestle sprint?
Football is a lame ass sport. It’s boring to watch. It’s basically a game of catch with a bunch of people concussing each other in between.
nUmBA OnE mCRiBS
I mean if you're talking about grid iron football...thats not even American bro that's a candian sport. On our 100th something grey cup and we hold in annually just as the NFL does. Proper title would be "steal sports from other countries and call it ours"
Hello, guy who knows nothing about sports here. What’s the rule that makes rugby more interesting? I’m genuinely curious about it now
Rugby, meh, the quarterback play in that sport is terrible...
Hand egg?
I mean it's badically rugby so ofc other countries don't wanna play thr ripoff version
The NFL, giving young men CTE for over 100 years and going strong
“ITS THE BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD”
Canada, Japan, Australia, Mexico, and several other countries play it. More than one country plays it bucko
Personal preference
I've met hurling guys who insist that's the best sport in the world and, having watched it, I can't say they're wrong.
Soccer players too soft to play the game
