Just a question I would like to put to Americans who are constantly naming NFL players.
Out of the 208 countries in the world where football is their national Sport how many of them do you think refer to our Football as Soccer?
Taken from Wiki;
The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)
What you have done is also take the game of Rugby, an invented English sport, made it fit for pussies in padding, and passed it off as one of your own invented sports. so why doesn't a great footballing nation like England, Spain, France, Argentina or Brazil call it Soccer? THEY DON'T, because it isn't known ANYWHERE else in the world other than USA and Canada as fucking SOCCER!!!!!!!!
Also Baseball, which is also an English game, was once called Rounders! and we played it with no helmets or padding, a sport which Americans claim they invented.
Also Basket Ball, which was once known as Netball and played exclusivly by girls, now played by black 14ft Americans, also another sport which Americans claim.
How long until you take the invented English spot of Tennis and call it Ball Smash, or some other crappy name?
How long until you take the co-invented sport of Boxing from England and Greece and try and pass it off as "Big Padded Fist Brawl"
How long until you take another English invented sport, Cricket, and call it "Run Ball" or "Bat Ball"
I would like answers!
people over here don't have any problem calling NFL "American Football" so what is the proplem with you fine American people calling the most played game in the world by its OFFICAL name?
You Americans would go bonkers if us lot called "American Football" just plain old Handball, Hand Run, Brown Ball or Fat Ball - because lets face it all American Football players are FAT
Please, this is a football thread, not an NFL one!
