MODERATORS
I saw comments unironically saying last year was a true "world" series because the Blue Jays were in it.
A substantial number of baseball's all-stars, in Major League Baseball, are not from the US. It's a popular enough sport elsewhere, but the best players tend to want to come to the US to play. About 25% of the players are foreign.
Same with basketball, which hasn't had an American MVP in 8 years. About 30% of the players are foreign.
Sure but that's true of a lot of football leagues too.
Excuse me! Canada won it last year.
We did?
Go Canada, but they lost last year.
Once we annex the U.S we'll have to change the name.
