"World Champs"! How many countries compete for the Super Bowl? Rich, I have to agree with Steve Lee that perhaps we Americans use terms which tend to offend many people in foreign countries. We really don't see it that way but these little things are what causes jealousy and ultimately hatred toward Americans. Europeans are very sensitive and have a pride in their own country which is only right so we tend to appear arrogant and pompous to them when we declare we are the best. Most of us here in America didn't really pay much attention to what goes on in the rest of the world everyday until 9/11. Since that event we now watch more of the world on a daily basis. I think that now more than ever we have to be super careful of our rhetoric. Ted
