Fighting the real pressing issues I see. Who the fuck cares, it’s been like this for decades. Let it be and move on to real issues. My god, always the distraction with this Trump fuck.
“NFL stuff” works
I can’t remember the last time I watched NFL stuff
That’s a nice diversion from the epstein files
He was denied an ownership deal to a football team a long time ago and he’s just getting revenge. That’s what tin pot dictators do. There’s also another thing they usually do…
I think he was just giving a soccer peace prize by FIFA, this is just him doing one of his favors back, lol.
This is one of the things people don’t get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn’t make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn’t actually “do” anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.
They’ve gotten too much shit actually renamed though. Denali, Gulf of Mexico, sort of the Department of Defense, Institute of peace.
They aren’t gonna get anynone government contolled stuff renamed unless the owner is a real MAGA brown noser. The NFL isn’t gonna do shit he wants. The owners have hated him since the 80s.

He said, as if it weren’t true…
Totally agree. He doesn’t actualy fix things, just talks about it. Then waffles on the idea after the check clears.
So thats why FIFA awarded him a peace price award that they made just for him and after this they asked him if he could force the NFL to use another name?🤣 brilliant.
I knew there’d be something. Bingo bongo.
National Bingo Bongo League? NBBL? It has a ring to it.
Hey, that wasn’t even intentional. Accidental genius.
I’ve been calling it ‘stupid’ for some time and never really get any cogent pushback. Sports!
National Stupid Football League, or NSFL for short!
National Stupid Football League,
May I suggest “National Stupid Football Workgroup” ? Just because the short-hand …
NSFL sometimes stands for “not safe for life” but either is fine with me.
Everyone else calls it American Football
Doofus.
Sad but true, Americans will only do the right thing if they get some benefit, if you give them money. Trump is just the embodiment of everything American. That’s why some Americans love him, some hate him.
Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.
It’s true, not all americans and it is not uniquely american thing. But it is a predominant american thing in general and nobody expect different behaviour. Just like “americans are good basketball players”. Not all, not uniqiely but when america (USA) is playing you expect that they will win.
True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system!
Only one of these pictures is real, and only one system is used for space stuff in reality
ISO I believe
Or BIPM
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit
You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
Like an amp that you can turn up to 11
0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
Which is 99% due to you being used to that.
And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.
Third down and 3 meters to go!
Kicking a 20 meter field goal.
Perfect.
That unamerican
That’s the unexpected right thing coming from Trump. Seriously, only Americans call a game played with hands “football” and a game played with feet “soccer.” Come on Trump, next fix the measurements so Americans don’t measure in pots and pans (or maybe it was cups and spoons) and thumbs and elbows (or maybe it was inches and feet).
Although the etomology of the word football is inconclusive, the most likely explanation is that it’s a game played on foot, rather than on a horse.
Also, they’re both called football colloquially because they are both derived from a sport called Football but neither of them are actually “Football.” Association Football (Soccer) and Gridiron/American Football are the correct names. So really, people calling it Soccer are more correct than people who call it Football.
The term “soccer” originated in the UK as a shortened slang for “assoc(iation) football”.
The US didn’t come up with that term, like almost everything else, they stole it from someone. Don’t blame the U.S. for the UKs habit of abbreviating stuff.
Quick correction. We didnt steal it, we used it because of the British, then the British decided they didnt like the term anymore and swapped to “football” and Americans just kinda kept using it. Same thing with imperial measurements. They were invented by the British, we used them cause we were a british colony, then Britain changed their mind and Americans stuck with the original.
Long story short, British invent something and the Americans use it cause former british colony, then the british change their mind and then make fun of the Americans while the pretend they werent the people who invented it in the first place.
Its some gaslighting bullshit
You, I like you.
Easy, just switch the two. There’s no way we’d all spend years confused about which sport anyone is talking about!
Dang, I’m full of great ideas today!
Just call it ball, as in “lets play ball”
Three strikes on the end zone, and the goalie is out!
How about calling it “America can suck my hairy grampa balls signed DONALD J… TRUMP!!! P.S… (crooked hilary)”
Why don’t you just call NFL foot ball, soccer? No one else wants to use the name soccer so it’s sort of free.
I’m surprised he’s not naming it Hitler Nazi Pedoball, for the exact same reason.
Well you see, Americans called the game with goalies “soccer” because that’s what the British called it back when we were crown colonies, so when we invented the game with linebackers, we called that “football.” then everyone else heard our word and decided to change the game with goalies’ name to “football.” So as usual, America continues to be correct, and the rest of the world is bound and determined to fuck it up.
This is wrong. Soccer was (by Americans) called Soccer after the word ‘association -> assoc -> soccer’ because back then it was called ‘Association Football’ Football is an umbrella term for sports which was not mounted (by foot) and used a ball so ‘by foot with ball -> football’ So after that to call American Football, Football, is by definition not wrong but misleading for most parts of the world. More precise would be ‘American Rugby’ since American Football is a derivative of Rugby much more so then of European Football.
Rugby is older than American football? Huh. I’m going to annoy the shit out of my coworkers with that little gem.
We call it soccer because we already have a sport called competitive diving.
Okay, we’ll rename American football to Cricket.
So as usual, America continues to be correct
Perhaps you’ve momentarily forgotten about USA’s metric vs imperial nonsense
How many moon landings have been done in metric?
Part of all of them? I guess?
More like, how many Mars orbiters have been lost because of the US measurements?
