| [Breitbart] Falsely labeling the country of Taiwan as part of China will do little to improve the National Football League’s (NFL) financial prospects in the communist country, state propaganda newspaper Global Times declared on Friday. The Times was responding to a controversy erupting this week when the NFL announced a series of international partnerships meant to promote the popularity of American football. While football remains America’s most popular sport at home, it has made no significant progress in constructing a global fanbase and, to that end, the NFL announced it had designated special markets for its teams to generate energy behind them. In the announcement, the NFL published a map showing that it assigned the Los Angeles Rams the entire nation of China as its "international home marketing area." The map of China, highlighted in red to show it is part of the program, incorrectly including the island of Taiwan. The inclusion was particularly egregious in light of exclusions of legitimate offshore territories of other countries, most prominently Spain.

| #2 Nothing is as funny as any sports fan finding out you really don't give a shit about their sport. Soccer fans go off the hardest. Their sport is the most lame. |
