I read where the title "World's Series" came from
(people outside the USA always give a lotta grief to us sports because we call everyone "world champions.")
It all started in the baseball. The NY World was a newspaper that was the original sponsor for the championship series to be played between the national and the American leagues. This resulted in the championship being called The World's Series, with the champion referred to as the World's Champion It was never meant to be a brag or a dis on the world outside the USA.
Of course, after a few years, the paper goes under, and people forget where the title came from and now everyone around the world knows that the baseball championship in the USA is called the World Series.
Funny how things come about.
