Sports in the USA 1 internationals

How much difference would it have made to US society if international team contests had a higher profile.

Imagine

An American Football World Cup

Ditto for Baseball

Also imagine a much greater interest in the Soccer World Cup

Or also a US Test Cricket side.

How much difference would that make to US feelings about the rest of the World or to the rest of the World's about the US.

Oh and might issues around race have come up earlier.
 
There is now the World Baseball Classic.

Ironically, the US didn't even make it out of the second round.

1st: Japan
2nd: Cuba
3rd: South Korea
4th: Domincan Rep.

(8th: USA)
