I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.
Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.
American football has the Superbowl. The World Series is for baseball, which is very much a global effort. Canada is the only other country that has a team (Toronto Bluejays), but MLB players are recruited from all over the world. Shohei Ohtani is from Japan, Julio Rodriguez, Carlos Santana , and a bunch of other players are from the Dominican Republic, Jose Caballero is from Panama… You get the picture. The MLB World Series is most certainly a series for the best baseball players in the world.
A bit of a delayed response, but I didn’t want to ignore it. I do stand corrected on many of those points. I don’t agree with the last sentence, but I appreciate the accuracy and will upvote.
For something to be a world series, I would hope there would be teams around the world that represents the sport and compete against each other. For example, in football (your soccer), you have a world cup which has countries from around the world competing, and you have competitions like the Europa Champions League (the best clubs in Europe competing). I think one individual from a country doesn’t necessarily indicate country participation.
The US have a world series for American football/American rugby which only they compete in. America is… errrm interesting.
Could a rich - say - Saudi not create a club, buy the best players, and then compete as a Saudi team?
Asking for a friend.
They basically bought the PGA using that tactic.
