How can the New Orleans Saints genuinely call themselves world champions?

[Mr D_1990]

Yeah they are the World Champions of Football ( real football, im not going to call it american football). Do you have a team in England that can even last one play against the Saints? Yeah, I don't think so......wait maybe a team from the CFL can beat them! Hahahahaha. Come on get real.

It's not 'real' football, real football is played with the feet not with the hands, the clues in the fucking name!
Anyway, its American Foot-Ball. Who the fuck cares outside of america?!? :dunno:

Two different games. Different size field and different rules. So both the Super Bowl Champs and the Grey Cup Champs can lay claim to being "World Champs" for that particular brand of football. Unless you played with some bastardized hybrid rules you couldn't even have a game, and even then neither team would be able to claim anything because they would not be playing their style of football.

Not to mention that the types of players the leagues go after are completely different. The NFL goes after larger players, while the CFL wants players who are smaller and faster. A game between two different sports leagues is rather impractical.

Strip the Saints off their whiny ass helmets and uniforms and let them play against the British and Irish Lions. :angels:

Boy...talk about confused...REAL FOOTBALL is played on a 100 yard field, the ball is kicked off, and on field goals; there are 4 downs , and 6 points for a touchdown, point after usually kicked for the extra point.
Soccer is the rather effimate game played all over the 3rd World and in Europe...and some other places...
And the Saints are the World Champs!:thumbsup:

They'd be the bloody Lions for sure then...helmets and pads are for other players protection, the American football player is an animal and a physical pain dispenser...besides being really fast and well versed in strategy and play execution.

So, if you're not arguing that they're the best in the world, why argue that they aren't World Champions? Call me crazy, but isn't being the best in the world the exact qualification for being a World Champion? :dunno:

Do they have to beat every single football team in the world in order to make that title acceptable to you? Because, they beat every single football team in the world, no matter how you want to look at it. It just so happens that all of the football teams play in the NFL. Yes, there are other football leagues (Australian rules, Canadian rules, etc) but American football can only be found here in America.

So, what's your argument now? Do you want other countries to put together rag tag teams (with no chance of winning) to compete against NFL clubs, just for the sake of being able to say that the Saints played football teams outside of the US?

I will answer you when I can stop laughing at your posts :rofl::thumbsup:

im american and coming from me america has lazy ass sports, except basketball. where else in the world are you gonna see a fat fuck compete. DH in baseball and linemen in football. if your wondering why the world hasnt caught on to american football is because its lazy and dull, besides they have rugby. in football you have 45 sec to decide a play, then average play takes 3-5 seconds to watch, then back to 45 sec. to decide next play, wow fucking wack. dont get me into baseball. all in all the winner of the superbowl should not be called world champs. only sport where countries play against each other are the olympics and the world cup, which i cant wait for this summer. it takes skill to play with your feet rather than your hands. but try telling us that, we're just fat lazy americans who play with our hands. no pun intended

But why is it called football if it is predominately played with the hands. It should be called handball.
Not really sure what effimate means? You probably mean effeminate. Which is inaccurate, & football is the most popular game. . .IN THE WORLD!

Oh well, I'l never understand American sports with all their razzamatazz. . .

[STDiva]

Who cares what the Saints call themselves? The best 32 teams in the world play in the NFL. World Champs, Super Bowl Champs, National Champs, call them whatever you want to call them.

Yeah, that's why all of the hot girls in high school go after the goalie and not the quarterback of the football team.

Yes, because that's how you define the merits of a sport, by how many 'hot girls' 'go after' the participants! :tongue:

Think of the FIFA World Cup. There might be a hundred teams trying to win the World Cup, but only sixteen(?) actually make it to the World Cup. Other teams - of lesser skill - do not get the chance to play for the Cup, even though those teams may be made of professionals, too.

That's true but the to get access to the World Cup itself, every team (except the organising country) has to go through qualifications, this is how the weakest countries are eliminated before the beginning of the World Cup.
And even if there is no chance for a team from other continent than Eurpe ou South-America to win the World Cup, the competition includes teams from every continent.

Same with the FIFA Club World Cup, it includes winner teams from every continental competition.

You can't claim to be World Champion f you didn't beat teams from other continnts than yours.
