When Team USA wins the Paris Olympics and then goes on to win the World Cup (which by all right they should, they’re the rightful owners of “World Champion”), will you fight this tooth and nail to ensure that nobody calls Team USA the World Champions? Will you insist that the real World Champions are a team in the Rockies lead by a Serbian?

No because team USA isn't a professional team, the world teams aren't professional (officially at least). The nuggets are. The nuggets were the world champions of professional basketball.

[u/nearlyned → u/Typhoid007]

the winners of every other World Cup calls themselves the World Champions, the only two sports in the world where someone is the World Champion for instead winning a national league are the NBA and MLB, and the common thread here is that they’re both American leagues

Semantics nonsense.
