Designer drug doping disaster?

While we are off topic on the World Series, how about the National Hockey League? There are teams from both Canada and the US so which Nation does the name refer to? What about World Championship Cricket or Rugby? There are never any American teams included so how can it be World Championship? er, the current World Cup rugby is being held, in Australia. The US AND Canada have sent teams. Also, Argentine AND Uruguay are competing. No Scandinavians though. Teams from everywhere but there. The Cricket world cup was less eclectic. If the north americans want to enter, I think they can. The Dutch had a team in this time, from memory. Australia is welcome to host the World Championship for Australian Rules Football if they want. No one else is insane enough to participate. (Unless South Africa or New Zealand get a little carried away.) last night there was a Test match played between Australia and Ireland, of a modified version of Aussie Rules crossed with Gaelic Football. I think we won that, too. Sadly for world rugby, today we beat Namibia, 139-0 ant |

It's a world championship if any country in the world is eligible to enter a team. And by the way, there is an American team playing in the rugby. Peter |

I think your compatriots *currently* playing in the Rugby World Cup might be a little aggrieved to hear you say that. There are teams from every continent involved in that, so I think it can genuinely be described as a *world* cup. And it isn't the fault of the Cricket authorities if the US decides not to enter a team in that. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager Civil wars aren't.

It can't be called the North American Series because not all the countries in North America are represented. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager Clarvoiants meeting canceled due to unforseen events.

This was the 100th anniversary of the World Series let's not forget. In 1903 there was no such thing as political correctness. It was no big deal then, like now, it's just that some people have to bitch about something. |

Don't forget that there are also no other teams anywhere else in the world that can compete. Our Basketball championships are called "World Championships" too. You've seen what happens when the rest of the world plays our basketball players. Yes I think we all saw last year what happens. They finally dare to come to play, and even that only (in my opinion) because USSR and Yugoslavia didn't exist anymore. Sorry but personally I don't see any reason why in 1992 they finally agreed that Olympics and World Championships could matter, and just year before that those two competitions didn't count at all. Anyway...

They talked about it a little bit last night. There were something on the order of 20 players in the 4 major US professional sports set to testify. They mentioned some from Baseball and Football but I don't know who. Why is it called the "World Series", it is only Canada and the US that participating? The rest of the world is welcome to field a Major League Baseball team. They just choose not to. Is that our fault? ;-) |
