CNN's Piers Morgan is apparently trying to get another petition started to have him deported.

Shortly after the conclusion of Sunday's Super Bowl, he tweeted, "Got to laugh at Ravens being declared 'World Champions' of a competition only American teams enter":

Leftists hate all things American. Especially when it is related to greatness.

It just occured to me that Piers is a valueable TOOL. He is like the canary in the coal mine. Many are now seeing an all out attack on the current game of American Football. It could be questioned as to the coordination, or reasons, for such an attack and many may argue what we are seeing. However, our canary is confirming that the east coast elite leftists are truly coordinating attacks!

Morgan. You are a prick.

They are not called the 'World Champions'. They are called the winners of the Super Bowl. Period.

Stop being a prick. I know, I know, that's impossible.

Stop anyways.

For the vast majority of the game, the foot isn’t used in American football.

The Hagerstown Suns, the Dunedin Blue Jays, The Scranton Phillies, The Toledo Mud Hens, all of'em could wipe the floor with Jap baseball.

You might want to drop your racial epithet and look at what has really happened. The first Japanese player to make the major leagues was Masanori Murakami in the early 1960s as a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. It was more than a quarter century before Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers did so again.

At the time, it widely thought that Japanese teams played a little better than our AAA level, but not at our MLB level. It was also thought that Japanese pitching might be able to compete at the MLB level, but not position players. The encounters between exhibition all-star teams which Americans won about 80% of the time seemed to bear this out.

Then Ichiro Suzuki, a superstar on the Kobe Blue Wave, signed a major league contract with the Seattle Mariners and proceeded to produce superstar numbers in the American League. Not long afterward, Cecil Fielder, who was considered a washed-up MLB player, put up such good numbers in Japan that the Detroit Tigers brought him home and he proceeded to hit over 50 home runs (honestly and without steroids) in the very next season.

Look at things today and there are few major league rosters without at least one Japanese player on them, not all of whom are of star quality either on our side of the Pacific or theirs. The skill gap has closed considerably since Hideo Nomo (who was a good, but not an outstanding pitcher in Japan) pitched here in the late 1980s.

Bottom line is that the AAA teams which you mentioned might be competitive with the lower ranked Japanese pro teams, but certainly would not "wipe the floor" with them, particularly those at the top of the standings.

It's official ... the proof is obvious ... there is no credible competition

CNN has the least number of brain cells among its journalists than any other mainstream news agency in the world.

Others may have just as ignorant reporters and reporterettes, but not as many.

Piers doesn’t realize the top English pro soccer team, Manchester United, is owned by Americans (Glazer family...who owns Tampa Bay Bucs NFL team). A few top English soccer clubs are owned by Americans

Alrighty then. Let's take those wonderful "Japanese" baseball players and make up a team and see what they can do.

As far as racial epithets go, I guess you have never heard the Japs refer to us as big-nosed, foul-smelling gaijin then?

The skill gap has closed considerably since Hideo Nomo (who was a good, but not an outstanding pitcher in Japan) pitched here in the late 1980s.

Yup, in another 100 years or so those wonderful folks who brought us Pearl Harbor and were anxious to use my papá for bayonet practice, will be ready for some version of expanded MLB.

Meantime, my money stays on the Scranton Phillies, etc.
