Splitting hairs really. I think the 'World Champion' moniker is justified since football isn't played anywhere else on the globe. The best talent in the world is in North America (primarily the United States.) Of the 120 or so division 1 college football teams, all the best talent makes its way to the NFL. The best of the best are in the NFL. I would wager anyone that anybody else in the world couldn't field a team to beat the NFL's best, given unlimited resources to do so.

And thats the point. Its only played in america, the definition of world champs to me means you've competed against other countries around the world. But thats just me being logical.

You're raising a logical point, I agree. Until an international team is fielded and competes, then its open for contention. Thats just my take though. Thats why I think its more logical to call them Superbowl Champions, or World Series Champions, or NBA Champions or Stanley Cup Champions etc. Avoid the whole discussion altogether.
