The US should 'come up with another name' for football because that term belongs to soccer, Trump says at World Cup draw, renewing historic debate.

    I’ve been saying we should go back to calling it Grid Iron because it sounds cooler. But now we have to keep it so this motherfucker isn’t made happy.

      US football dispensed with most of the rules of international rugby years ago. Gridiron would make sense though.

      I’m surprised it took that long. Football is missing one of the biggest markets in the world and they’d award that dumbass with a trophy daily if that got them any closer to football in the US.

        So, the National Basketball League of Australia could call their championship the World Cup of Basketball? It has two countries in it.

    What’s next? 'Murica starts using the metric system?

    It’s weird that the US calls “football” “soccer” and “american football” “football” but it is what it is and a president shouldn’t be able to rename things on a whim.

        He also has a grudge against the NFL because Jerry Jones kept him from getting a team.

      He wasn’t shot. His guard hip checked his head mid tackle. That’s why they had to get a second opinion from their favorite lying doctor before releasing the medical report.

          Where’s the missing piece of ear?? Can’t find it, right?

          If he really got shot in the ear there should be a chuck misting from the top rim but it’s clean as a baby orangutan’s ass.

      Nah he’s gone after the NFL before. He’s a pedophile convicted felon, I don’t think his dumb musing about football will be his downfall.

        You’ve got your cause and effect reversed. He says vile things, so we point out that he is a vile person.

        It’s his hatred that makes him say hateful things, not ours.
