Quick poll......American sports v British sports....
Have we invented better sports than the Americans?
Britain-
Football,cricket,golf,rugby,tennis to name just a few.....
USA-Baseball,ice hockey,american football,basketball....
On the very simple fact our sports are played by a wider range of countries around the globe i would have to say yes,as Britain we have invented the better sports.
