You seem pretty upset about this. Maybe you should take a deep breath.

 

Thanks but I'm alright. I think you're in a worse state if you really support the name "football" for your sport.

 

Oh totally. I'm in a fit of rage over my unspeakable acts. Thank you for enlightening me.

 

I'm quite sure that you didn't get it, but it was an insult about your brain's subnormal functionality.

 

What I don't really understand is how we began calling American Football football and football soccer...

 

Who called the football the football? I think that is where the origin comes from.

 

Probably some European settlers with a misshapen football from all that time in a boat and they couldn't think of anything else to call it.

There were countries that played balled games well before that but I dunno if they called it football.

 

Toshi, my fine football brother. It's nice to see you again.

 

Same, Forsaken. Taking a break from watching France win all those medals huh?

 

I meant the actual ball that they use in American football. It is a called a football.

 

Or a pigskin.

I am not a sports nerd. I promise.

 

I think I figured that out just fine. It's the sarcasm that wooshed right over your head.

 

They are no longer made of pigskin.

 

And all-beef hot dogs are no longer made of beef.

 

More like taking break from China winning all those medals, and Greece winning none.
ohohohohoh

 

Soccer comes from the word "Association" which referred to the original English football leagues, I believe. Association football.
Yes, the Americans did not invent the term Soccer, the English did. So any dislike in regards to terminology is horribly misplaced!
Football is a very general term. Rugby is technically considered football due to the act of kicking the ball within the game, and from this American football gets its name, shortened to football.

 

x = 1.0

 

Horribly misplaced? Are you serious or are you just copying some wikipedia article without thinking? The English invented this term because some numbskulled shitbrains used the word football for a sport that already had that name. They had to separate the two sports somehow!
The rest you said about technically considered football because during it a player hits the ball with his feet a few times is just for laughs. They should call it running because the players run during the game, or jumping because they jump too. Or perhaps yelling because they yell, and so on.

 

The Irish will always be the champions regardless of whether or not they're "good".

I'm not Irish, By The Way.
