For starters, the Football World Cup, unlike your World Series, does indeed involve the world.

F1 or, to give it its official name, Formula One World Championships isn't solely European. The clue is in the word 'World' and some of its circuits including Brazil, Bahrain, Singapore and Any Dhabi.


It's still beyond me how Russia and Qatar ended up with the World Cup. I thought England deserved it, they got snubbed. FIFA is just corrupt and I think is losing it's credibility and Blatter needs to go!

As for the comment about the World Series, or even calling the Super Bowl champion, World Champions. I've always wondered that. Neither sport involves the world. National champions probably better describes it. I don't like it being called World Series or World Champion. I even live in the States and it bothers me but, I did live in Europe for five years, perhaps that scews my view a bit.

Help a poor yank from San Diego understand Kal's cartoon. Football is something else in the U.S.A. for which I am not a fan! However, I do much enjoy that very European thing called Formula 1.....gene


@prblogger, F1 may be "world", but, judging by the fact that most of the season airs on 8 AM Eastern Time, it is clearly not American.

Thank you, but I'll stick to Indy.
