Perhaps the easiest way to determine who has the right to call their sport "Football"

[Crayo]

And the fact that football (soccer) is played with feet... and a ball. I'm not saying let's rename American Football to "hand-egg", but let's just call it AMERICAN football :gary:.

 

[Ovaldinho]

American Footballs actual name is Gridiron so they could just call it that, Gridiron sounds cool anyway so I don't see why they don't.

Gridiron is a horrible, horrible name. Sounds like a race-track company.

 

[Ovaldinho]

What type of queer-boi don't like some good old race-track

I don't see why it bothers you so much lol. different people call different shit by different names. you should be more tolerant lad

 

[Swift]

Still calling it soccer

[CM Punk]

^ I thought that too. Then I was going to say that America dominates all the other countries.

Football - played with your feet and a ball
American football - played with your hands and an egg-shaped contraption.

I'm aware, but NO ONE ever says i'm going to play grid iron. It's the field type, not the sport. Do you guys say, going to play pitch? No, no one says that shit.
