With the current Terry Court case, we're already changing from having players in an attacking position to an offensive line.
A few years ago, the winner of the World Series played the winner of the Japanese baseball league(NPB) and the Japanese won.
It's also true that the first few World's Strongest Man contests were only open to American athletes as 'the strongest in America will naturally be the strongest in the world'. Amazing.
Watched the full thing... predicted the winning team 4 years in a row until earlier.. i was going for a Patriots win!
Can't have been. 5th place in the first 1 was an Italian, and every other year there's been at least one non-American on the podium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_Strongest_Man#Official_results_.E2.80.93_top_three_places
