ermm...cough....does anyone outside north america play american rugby? baseball is dominated by one asian country and a communist one outside the US.
and isn't calling the nba champions the world champions a bit misleading (are any other nations allowed to compete???) |
American football's big in Canada, and gaining popularity in Europe, and seeing as over half the players in the NBA aren't from the US, I'd say it's a pretty international sport. Maybe there's no world cup of basketball, but the NBA champion can definitely be considered the best in the world.
Soccer (football) is actually getting popular in the States too, last I left...compared to where it was before the last world cup, it's definitely improved...wish I could say the same about the actual team.
