That is not football, that is soccer.

Also one hell of a thumbnail

Can we just say "soccer?" If we don't, can we make it abundantly clear that soccer is football and football is American football?

I hope I didn't come off as angry, I just want some standardization, is all.

But isn't the majority of the heap American?

"New" and "better?" Isn't that a tad ethnocentric?

What I'm saying is, you're kind of coming off as prejudiced. And I'm well aware of how old football is, and well aware of how stupid of a name for American football is.

It's not; it's prejudiced to say your way is better.

Now I'm kind of offended. You're giving me a sort of "insulting my culture" vibe, which, uh really pisses me off.

Then just say YOU don't like it being called football and that if it was up to YOU, the name would be reserved for what the yanks call soccer.

You said it was a more "logical" name, which seems dismissive, and I hate dismissiveness, and I hate being patronized.

But they DO kick the ball in American football, and I don't care about logic, I'm talking about dismissiveness.

Princess Alice · 2012-08-30 21:36:07

More places around the world call it "football" than call it "soccer", so if you're going to "standardize" it would make more sense to go with football.

Hexartes · 2012-08-30 21:37:51

I think preference is more important though. I don't think this place is an entirely accurate representation of world demographics.

What I mean is, sometimes respect for other people's opinions is more important than "logic." And I seriously doubt this place accurately represents percentages of ethnic groups is what I was saying. I wasn't implying that we are all American.

Hoo boy. I'm just going to back out slowly now.

Finally watched the video in the OP. Soooo much plasticine. o.o

sunn wolf · 2012-09-03 19:00:45

speaking as someone who is from britain and has been to many games of football, it is indeed called football, and the games are exactly as this video suggests they are. good match but imo the linesman got that offside call totally wrong
