It's fun while it lasts.

Of course, weve seen other citys fortunate enough to go through it too.

If by "centre of the sporting world", you mean in terms of US audience.

It's all relative as well. How storied is the city, how large is the city, how deep does history run with the teams, etc.

One team can make a place feel on top of the world.

True. The sporting world for the US almost only consists of US sports and teams, so in that sense there is nothing wrong with the statement. However, this kind of statement is always posted in a way that makes it sound like the US is the centre of the sporting world for everyone, which is certainly not the case.

Probably dominating and it is good, BUT...need to win it all somewhere. Sox have had a great year but lets finish and same with the Pats.

Until we crown another football or basketball champion then GAINESVILLE, Fl is on top of the US sporting world.

They are the top of the College world but Boston right now has the top of NFL(the most popular sport in America), MLB(World Series is viewed all over the world) and NBA(still very popular) all with great history behind each of the sports teams. I am originally from Boston and would love to be back there to enjoy it right now. You are either still in college or recently left Gainesville. Boston is the center of the ADULT sports world

So are the Australian Rules Football and National Rugby League Grand Finals, but in reality few people outside of Australia watch those. It isn't any different for the American sports.

LOOK GUYS

the best players come from Europe Asia etc to play basketball.

the best players come from Aisa, Central America to play baseball.

the best players come from Europe to play hockey.

even the best named soccer players come here since Pele.

The best players even come here to GOLF, drive cars, play tennis, run marathons, box and race horses.

Get over it the US is the center of the sporting world, if you the best you will come here, not the other way around.





i understand soccer is the most watched thing ever, props to rest of the world and soccer. :pope: most of our soccer teams are foreign dominated by their greats as well. (WE JUST WILL NEVER LIKE IT)

Even in the college world great athletes are coming in droves.

Expanding the sporting world to POKER and eating a lot of food, the contestants are flocking here too.

5Team you just dropped a pound of knowledge there. Going to take a while to digest.

But I think about a guy like Dice K who can do virtually nothing without his interpreter. He is only here to play baseball on it's highest level.

So I suppose there is some truth to what you say.
