I have no idea why we call it the World Series, but we do!!\n\nJust like we call the winner of the Super Bowl, World Champs, it's not right...who knows why we call things the things we do!\n\nAnd, whoa, what's with all the anti-American statements, what did we ever do to any of you guys?  Nothing!  And I KNOW THERE IS A WORLD BEYOND THE USA.............you people with your anti-American statements are idiots!!

People keep telling you that it's a common name.  The truth be told, it's actually an old name and not just common.  It's time to update things a bit.

i think it's because black people grew up sayin' it & it became kind of a cultural thing cuz black people have always been called that throughout history. so it's kind of ironic that we can call each other nigga, but if a white person says it, we get offensive. it's kind of like when see a girl call her friend b*tch, but if you call her a b*tch, they'll get mad. it's the same overall principle.

Consider the source...the people that mis use this term, are followers...they have heard it wrong and used it wrong without knowing any better.  Those of us that are aware of the proper usage tend to lapse in respect for the speakers.  Regardless, I couldn't care less how they say it because I know the way it is meant, and enjoy correcting most!

It's actually a form of dictatorship, but the name was chosen strictly for PR value. The name makes it sound like the government actually is for the people.
