      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.

    He’s absolutely right. And while we’re at it, can we rename the “World” Series?

      He saya quite a few things we agree on, and surely there should be for you as well, but hatred blinds.

        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.

    We all know he wants to call it “Trump Ball”. Hell, why only replace one word, let’s call the game “Trump Trump”.

      While we are at it we should rename the hundreds of cities named the same as European cities. Maybe even consider renaming Georgia, why would they want to be named after King George

        Georgia is also a country. Gets confusing because some Americans will tell your their state when asked where they’re from, even when overseas. I’ve complimented someone who’d said they’re from Georgia on their English before.

        (On a side note, can you imagine travelling to the US, being asked where you’re from, then going ‘oh I’m from alto adige originally’)

          Georgia? You mean Russia? /s. Sorry, figured we’d have a nice Russian invasion joke… come to think of it, not a good joke. Just a shit country invading borders

    this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.

    I suggest remaining American football to “rugby for pansies”.

    Or maybe “handegg”.

    On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.

      “rugby for pansies” until you get CTE or some irreversible brain injury…

        Different kinds of hits, but… goddamn. I saw a guy in a rugby game take a full-on elbow to the face while running full tilt and go pinwheeling to the ground… and the game continued without so much as a comment from the announcer.

        The passing and scrum rules also change the game. There’s less chance for an unexpected and dangerous hit in rugby. More shove, less hard contact.

        Most people who mock American football as ‘rugby for wusses’ (or similar) don’t even know how the game works, let alone what the legitimate differences are.

        In fact handegg players are more likely to suffer serious injuries because of it AFAIK. Particularly brain damage.
