New York Giants – World Champions?
Okay, so I know the New York Giants are pumped about beating the Patriots in Super Bowl 42. Now I must admit I’m not much of a football fan, but there is one thing that tweaks my interest every year.
Why are the teams who win the Super Bowl referred to as world champions?
I don’t get this at all. When did the National Football League turn into the International Football League? Yes, the New York Giants are the NFL Championship team, but they are by no means the world champions. Are teams from the CFL allowed to play in the Super Bowl? No. Are teams from other football leagues around the world allowed to play in the Super Bowl? No.
So lets stop referring to them as world champions. They’re not world champions. To be a world champion the competition needs to be opened up to, well you guessed it, the world. Such is not the case with the NFL’s Super Bowl. It’s a National Football League Championship game. Let’s call it what it is, and stop thinking the world revolves around the NFL Super Bowl game.
Just my two cents,
