We have a Football competition here in Australia called AFL or Aussie Rules the winner of that game are the Champions they do not claim to be World Champions even though it is played in the USA , UK and a few other countries
To be a Champion of the World you have to beat the World not just win a local competition
I think we need Perry Masons at 10 paces (hahaha)
Or an impartial Judge like a Cub forum member from the UK

There are different Levels to compete at Like US Baseball
There are Minor League Teams and Major League teams they do not compete against each Other In normal League Play
well Semi Pro football(IFAF) is Like the Minor Leagues In baseball
Professional Is Like the Major League In baseball
Like Playing in armature Game league(those people are Playing for something to do or Fun they have Normal 9 to 5 Jobs) and the other team Brings in people that Play the Game for a Living and the win that Game It's consider an Unfair advantage.
The IFAF will not allow U.S. professional Football Players to Play In the League based On there skill set at playing the Game of American Football
So U.S. Professional Football Players can only Play against other Professional Football teams Well Nobody else In the world Has them right now. So for that Level of Play the team that wins the super Bowl Can be considered World Champions as no one else in the world Has Professional level Football Players to play against them.
The CFL In Canada are consider Professional at what they Play But there field is 10 yards Longer so when a CFL team wins the Grey Cup they can be World champions at what they Play as Nobody else is Playing there Type of Foot Ball with a 110 Yard field. at One Time the CFL did have some U.S. teams IN 3 U.S. states
So Until Other countries Have Professional Football teams that Play and have the same skill set & rules as the U.S. professional Football teams Your going to Have Super Bowl winners being call world Champions at Professional Level Football even if the don't Play other countries Because there is Nobody else to Play against!!! as I said earlier It just a Game That really doesn't mean much
