Sorry, but your last example doesn't track... The Guinness book is Irish in
origin, and the organization's current headquarters is in London.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

None of your examples have any relevance.
MLB is a private organization. The "World Series" has nothing to do
with law. There is at least one Canadian team that plays in MLB.
NFL is a private organization and their "world championship" which
they don't even call a "world championship" has no relevance to the
law. On top of that, how many countries even have teams that play American
style football? NFL tried to establish a European league and it failed badly.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As was pointed out to me, the full title is (or was) "*NEW* *YORK* *WORLD*
Series".
Ie a newspaper called the "New York World". It has nothing to do with
world as in earth / mir / welt / worldwide.

In an abundance of caution we use a trite epigram
"World Famous in New Zealand"

The Americans are not the only ones guilty of over arching claims. The
International Baseball Board (the governing body of the British version of
baseball since 1927) has two members - Wales and England.
I never played it, but it seemed a popular sport in the parks in Cardiff where I
once lived.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

1) The term "Superbowl" is a copyrighted term and no one can
use that term outside of the NFL or its authorized
affiliates. Hence, the term "world champion" popped up as an
unofficial moniker to crown the champions.
2) As has been said be several other people; at the time, US
was the only country that practiced professional baseball or
professional American Football, thus being called world-
champs was a legit term
-- however, there are courts in every country that need to
be respected by each other's rulings. arguing a weak
parallel between sports and courts is just silly
3) So you're saying that every single diner between New York
to Los Angeles that says they have world famous pies aren't
lying to me? That they are indeed truthfully saying they are
world famous and the best? every single one of them?
