I hate that his fucking followers will be more angry about this than the fact that he raped kids on Epstein’s island.

This is one of the rare cases where I don’t disagree with Trump.
But they could just call it what the rest of the world call their sport. “American Football”.
It has their favorite word in it. America.

The NFL just needs to invent a peace prize and present it to Trump, then he’ll immediately change his tune and start insisting that FIFA changes their terminology to Soccer.

He knows the NFL has loads of money, and asks them for fat bribes with this stunt.

I don’t disagree, it needs a different name, has not much to do with feet, but really? A trophy is enough of a bribe for him to upset his base of NFL fans? Can someone bribe him to get us on Metric system?

This is one of the things people don’t get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn’t make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn’t actually “do” anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.

They’ve gotten too much shit actually renamed though. Denali, Gulf of Mexico, sort of the Department of Defense, Institute of peace.
They aren’t gonna get anynone government contolled stuff renamed unless the owner is a real MAGA brown noser. The NFL isn’t gonna do shit he wants. The owners have hated him since the 80s.

Sad but true, Americans will only do the right thing if they get some benefit, if you give them money. Trump is just the embodiment of everything American. That’s why some Americans love him, some hate him.

The NFL doesn’t need to drop the word “football” entirely, they just need to be more specific so there’s no confusion. They could change their name to “Non-Soccer Football League”, or NSFL for short.

That’s the unexpected right thing coming from Trump. Seriously, only Americans call a game played with hands “football” and a game played with feet “soccer.” Come on Trump, next fix the measurements so Americans don’t measure in pots and pans (or maybe it was cups and spoons) and thumbs and elbows (or maybe it was inches and feet).
Darkaga@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Although the etomology of the word football is inconclusive, the most likely explanation is that it’s a game played on foot, rather than on a horse.
Also, they’re both called football colloquially because they are both derived from a sport called Football but neither of them are actually “Football.” Association Football (Soccer) and Gridiron/American Football are the correct names. So really, people calling it Soccer are more correct than people who call it Football.
CarrierLost@infosec.pub 1 hour ago
The term “soccer” originated in the UK as a shortened slang for “assoc(iation) football”.
The US didn’t come up with that term, like almost everything else, they stole it from someone. Don’t blame the U.S. for the UKs habit of abbreviating stuff.

NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.
bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it “Brooms,” which leaves us with either NBA or MLB.

it was called soccer before it was called football in England
you will never get Americans to not call the ball a football and a soccer ball
Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
That’s not true… Soccer is what some of the english called it and that was an abbreviation of association football. It has always been football and for a short time in one place it was soccer in england and then it was football again everywhere. It came to the US as soccer and never changed. But it was always football.

dude, just look it up
it’s fact. the upper class didn’t want to play soccer because the lower class were playing it so they called it football

How about Hog ball? And instead of quarters we could have Epstein files. When you score a touchdown it’s now called a “bubba”. Now punting can be renamed “trumping” the ball.
