Talk about earth-shattering, important flames:

Well, Mr. Graft, I for one don't mind at all.  Granted, they are
taking a little journalistic leadway, but we *ARE* talking about
the best teams in the world in these cases.  The only other real
proffessional baseball in the world, is in Japan, and American
teams are in a different league.  As for basketball, who wins almost
every international competition held?  And those are the amatures(?),
not even the pros.

Don't you just love these serious subjects?  You can bet that this
will get ugly before too soon, though.
