yeah, the NFL is the same exact way. every game starts with a foot kicking a ball, therefore it is football
soccer is short for association football, englanders created it, therefore it is soccer
It’s not a sphere, therefore it’s not a ball. It’s shaped like more like an egg.
You kick it once with your foot, then you carry it with your hand.
It’s not football, its HANDEGG.
we’ll call it handegg for a few years then switch back to football once europeans unanimously call it handegg, then we’ll make fun of them for it
Gotta love it when people say “Americans tell everyone else what to do and how to do it” but also go “we should tell Americans what to do and how to do it”
That ridiculous name was all Britain’s fault

Thusly, I call the boring game “soccer” and the often decided by refs game where everyone has brain damage “gridiron”. Nobody wins, which is beautiful in its own way.
It’s called soccer in places where it’s a B or C tier sport. America, Australia, New Zealand at least have at least one other massively more popular sport called Football.
soccer is a D or F tier sport in america. all the best athletes go to football, basketball, baseball, or hockey
It’s hard to consider it a A tier sport when USians simply suck in it. It’s an A-tier sport elsewhere, though, and the greatest sport in most of the world.
Calling rugby football is a bit strange though.
This is as pointless as arguing over truck vs lorry, or apartment vs flat.
Now hold on a minute this was all your idea.
So dumb it hurts,
The term “soccer” was invented in England in the late 19th century by university students. It is widely attributed to Charles Wredford-Brown, an Oxford student.
And the fact that everyone ignores that Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland also call it soccer
It’s mixed in Canada. If you’re talking about football then people will know what you mean.
Aussie Rules or Aussie Football when talking about that.

I think it would have been more believable if the guy had been called Sir Nigel Britishman-Worcestershiresauce
This is a joke name surely
meanwhile in their “football”, not once can you touch the ball with your foot lol
I wont hear from the UK about speaking English correctly. You are not serious people.
Precisely. It was called soccer as a joke
Trying to apply logic at Americans. Waste of time. They still use imperial and call their sport football even though it’s without using a foot and ball.
The foot only hits the ‘ball’ for kickoffs and field goals. The rest of the timr its in their hands. Should call it handball. Used to call it pigskin football until they stopped using pig skin to make the weird balls.
Handball is also a different game already.

My brother in christ YOU CALLED IT SOCCER
I just love it when Americans hear some retarded shit Britain did and then accuse all of Europe for doing it.
They also left the union. Are you gonna blame all of Europe for leaving the EU?
All of Europe - except for Britain, apparently - call it football.
You want to blame someone, blame yourselves since you’re the ones who created and colonized the word.
