That should read we cant play this game as well as others so we pretend it doesn't exist and ridicule it so our fragile little egos cannot be hurt when we are seen not to be NO 1 in something regardless that it is by far and away the biggest sport in the world.

We will continue to play our own sports and call them the world series so at least we can fool ourselves into thinking we are untouchable and the best Woooo GO USA.

Joke sporting country, two of their main sports are games played by wee lasses and effeminate boys over here Rounders and Netball, Basketbore has got to be the worst sport of all time, lanky man runs down a small court and scores 15 seconds later the same happens the other end.....cool

As for American Football well they took a look at Rugby thought Mmmm those guys look really tough cant be seen to be physically inferior to the Brits, Frogs and somewhere called New Zealand plus it would take years of hard work and effort to get to a decent standard so we wont bother lets just make up something for us. Dont forget to add a break in play every 30 seconds so we can rest our fried chicken eating fat arses and gives us lots of pillows so we cant get too hurt.

And yes I have played American football it was ste compared to rugby, thank god that dumb late 80's and 90's fad has died away.

I believe its called the World Series after an old newspaper which sponsored the competition- the name has simply stuck.

I like their sport, I also love the sheer hype and energy, for instance college baseball games have mascotts, cheerleaders, brass bands, fireworks and even an flyover/air display. Enthusiasm goes a long way.

They turn out the odd good golfer and boxer too.

On rare occasions they have produced a Formula 1 World Champion or a Le Mans winner (although not so much in recent years).

So in summary, the USA is actually brilliant at most sports, except possibly football, where they did better than England anyway?

Team sports played on a global scale was the point of my argument and an opinion which I am entitled too.

Marvellous argument there you have totally won me over with it.

Sure you yanks would have a similar moan if one of our papers carried the headlines, LA Lakers win the NBL, but who cares as its a crap boring sport.

The trouble is we (envious) Brits base our opinions on the Yanks from seeing primadonna Celberities on chat shows, what we read in the Tabloids, and on their Governments foregn policy, Take a trip to Americs - not Disneyland, LA or New York - go to the 'real' America and meet normal ordinary American people, you'll find they are the nicest, politest, open and friendliest people you could ever wish to meet.

[Eric Mc]

You do seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonnet about American sports.
Do you always get so angry over such trivial matters?

I have and I agree the people I met on my visits to New England where fantastic and very very friendly, but a majority have a very insular view and very little knowledge or interest of anything outside the U.S be that politics, world events or Sport.
