Yeah and we'll just brush over the fact that football is the most popular, most followed sport in the world, whilst Rugby League isn't even the most popular sport amid the M62 corridor.Wigan winning the Rugby League Challenge Cup or the FA Cup wont matter to anyone who doesnt follow the sport.
I have no idea how many baseball titles have been won by the New York Yankees because I dont follow it. Nor do I know who has won the most Gaelic Football titles. I dont know who is the world champion in extreme ironing. In fact there are multiple sports that I have no idea who has won what simply because I dont follow them.
That said - it doesnt make their achievement in their chosen sport unworthy of recognition by those who do follow it.
