It’s gonna be named Trumpball isn’t it?
As a “soccer” fan, I’m glad we get football back.
He’s finally making sense. Things will get better now.
It’s called gridiron, it’s always been called gridiron, no need to change its name, just stop calling it football. 🤷♂️
Gridiron: a structure above the stage of a theater, from which hung scenery and the like are manipulated.
I always suspected that under all that padded costume these guys were really theatre geeks.
It should be changed to weakling rugby.
Name idea: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Ball
Edit: NFL < NCTEBLIs this all because that guy gave him a fake peace prize?
And let him keep the gold trophy he stole. And licked his poo hole real good. Yeah.
That’s how politics works man!
. . . wait.
We should give him a fake peace prize
Whatever it take to distract from the Epstein files sir!
Focusing on the real problems.
He wants his own Super Bowl trophy for his personal collection.
I want FIFA to go all in on nonsensical awards. Need a FIFA Chef of the Year award, FIFA’s best new artist, or FIFA Best Original Screenplay
Are we talking about what the dementia patient says again!?
“Dementia patient” makes it sound like he’s being treated.
He’s being managed. Apparently, his brand of dementia can’t be treated, only slowed. A big symptom is him losing his circadian rhythm, and sleep deprivation hastens the disease. I’ve heard he’s only got a few months before the big dirtnap. Then we’ll have President Vance.
The rest of the world couldn’t give a shit. Football always was football. No one gives a shit what you call your national sport that no other country in the world partakes in.
that no other country in the world partakes in.
Well there’s rugby.
Maybe they should call it American rugby.
Too much body armour to be called rugby.
Also far too many clock stoppages.
Rugby: an 80-minute game that completes in around 100 minutes, inclusive of the 15 minute break between halves.
Gridiron: a 60-minute game that inexplicably takes 3.5 hours.
Very little fucking about in rugby, they just get on with it.
Seems like you have a pretty strong opinion for someone who doesn’t give a shit 😂
Trump is a FIFA asset
it makes sense he hates America, when the maggots realize that they still don’t care, all are treasonous and need to hang from nooses
‘soccer’ is Oxford slang anyways. Funny that it caught on in the US.
Yep! https://time.com/5335799/soccer-word-origin-england/
Etymology is fun
I’m probably just dumb but I thought the technical name was Gridiron Football, doesn’t that count?
Yep.
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football generally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called football include association football (known as soccer in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United States, and sometimes in Ireland and New Zealand); Australian rules football; Gaelic football; gridiron football (specifically American football, arena football, or Canadian football); International rules football; rugby league football; and rugby union football.[1] These various forms of football share, to varying degrees, common origins and are known as “football codes”.
And though the jokes about gridiron not actually using your feet much are understandable, kicking the ball might not be the reason any of these sports are called “football”. It’s actually possible it’s because they are played on foot, to distinguish them from horseback sports like polo, which were more of a thing at the time they were named.
There are conflicting explanations of the origin of the word “football”. It is widely assumed that the word “football” (or the phrase “foot ball”) refers to the action of the foot kicking a ball.[13] There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe that were played on foot.[14] There is little conclusive evidence for either explanation.
Is it bad that I agree?
