I know they aren’t: baseball is English, ice hockey and basketball are Canadian, gridiron is the son of English rugby.

To be fair The Americas Cup is a British invention.

They threw the challenge out to the world.

Only the United States answered the challenge. Sending their boat while”America” and sweeping the race.

We renamed the race after that boat.

Signed
