The US owned the free world for a long time. I think its time to rename the super bowl to the mega super bowl. Then the yinz would have seizures and argue about their SBB titles in the 70's being relevant.

But yeah we owned the world after WW2, u guys did before that... My regards to the queen,

Well the only thing we "owe" is a huge debt to China. Thank you policy makers.

Yes, of course your'e the best !!!! ,youre' the only country that plays it!!! I bet your'e pretty good at Baseball too !! But the NFL or pro football is an American sport not a world sport like football ( soccer ) . if the US won the soccer world cup they would be world champions, but to claim that sundays winners are " world champions" is ludicrous , surely in any sport you have to have more than one country , competing in it to be called "world champions" ????? also if a team ( not a country ) wins any major trophy in any other sport they are not champions of the world ..............sorry , but i just dont understand it !!! " World Champion Green Bay Packers "??????????????????

Hyperbole, my dear friend. Yup, the World Cup and the Olympics are the only true "world championships" although it's funny in tennis or golf we don't call the #1 ranked player world champion- like they used to do in boxing.

Yes, I'm waiting for the day there's A(Asian)FC, N(North American)FC, and E(European)FC conferences, rename the Super Bowl the "World Bowl", then we CAN call the Winners "World Champions" and tell the Steeler trolls their Super Bowl Championships don't mean squat, because they haven't won any World Bowls lately.

Well done the US ,but i think your're missing the point here. American football is by definition an American sport , at ANY level. ( OK Canada as well ,too a certain degree ) so on sunday when one North American CITY beats another North American CITY . that doesent make them World champions.....i realise opinion is devided regarding this subject on this forum ............99.9% think im talking shit ...but hey ...thats what forums are all about!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BROWNS!!!

No Way. Dude I used to kill it in Cricket when I went to school in Leeds. All because of baseball.

Simply put since all nfl teams are american (for now) and there is no international teams (yet) so the superbowl winner would still technically be "the world champions" of american pro football....

Lets face it "national champions or "nfl champions" dont carry the weight of "world champions"..hehehehe

Hell yea, if Harare, Zimbabwe can put together a team that would be awesome. Put them in the NFC West where they can compete.
