They call it football...which is an insult to football.

When the final buzzer sounds, I would pay $10k to have Warren Sapp throw a full on tackle to a member of the opposing team. Just to show them what football REALLY is.

They called it football for a lot longer than we called our game football.

Moreover football makes sense for THEM, you kick the ball with your foot.

An American “football” only makes contact with the foot unintentionally or during special plays (the kickoff the field goal and the punt).

Soccer is so gay.

They call it football because they kick the ball with their FEET....not pick it up and run with it.

Well, originally there was association football and rugby football, one usually called football or sometimes soccer and the other one rugby.

I love real football but this soccer stuff is pretty dang exciting too.

Historically speaking, American football stems from rugby, so being a derivation, it can hardly be called "real". In truth, all three are "real" football, one is association football, the other one rugby football and the third American football. A world class footballer will kick *ss no matter which of the three he plays.
