Kind of curious that "football" really has only four situations where the ball ever actually touches a player's foot: kick offs, punts, field goals and extra points. Now there talking about doing away with one of those.
Regardless of one's opinion of soccer, it should rightfully be entitled to the name "football."

Totally agree and already call it that but with a funny sounding fuutbal and everyone knows whats being referred-to.
And in "soccer" no one "socs" the ball with their hands - its a serious penalty for all but the tenders. Ha!

You can add a fifth situation: the free kick after a safety is scored. They line up like a kick off, except the kicker kicks it like a punt and it's not snapped to the kicker - he puts the ball in play directly.

Tackling is the real problem with football. There’s just too much tackling going on these days. If it doesn’t stop, somebody’s going to get hurt. You heard it here first.

Kickball.
