The BBC Hates American Sports

That's the only conclusion I can reach after seeing the BBC's "Greatest Team of All Time" competition.

The only teams from this hemisphere are Pele's World Cup-winning squad, and "The US Postal Tour de France-winning team of 2004", which competed in Europe.

No "Dream Team" of the 1992 Summer Olympics, Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers or Boston Celtics. No Yankees. No 49ers. No hockey either.


Comments: The BBC Hates American Sports

Yeah, but if an American newspaper ran an article titled "The Greatest Teams of All Time", it would probably list nothing but American teams.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
