How can Americans claim to use the term 'Football' for thier version of Rugby? The ball (hell, its not even a ball, its a 'thing') is not even kicked!!!!
Football is a round bit of leather and air that is 'kicked' (with feet).
So call it something else, ya dopey beggers!
The term has been around for a very long time, several generations. That is like americans saying the name rugby is entirly wrong because a rug is something on the floor and by is a linking verb. When you have nothing to do with the name, it too has been around for several generations.
No point.
Its not a point, cos rugby is shit anyway. the point is, americans, get ur own name for football.
^which is like me saying
American football is shit anyway, get a new name for rugby.
Maybe the Americans came up with their version of football before anyone else...?
Who knows, plus I don't really care. :p Debating over different sports and people rioting over primates kicking a ball in a net is just so...outdated. Haven't we evoloved to intelligent beings, who surely can find a form of entertainment rather than kicking or hitting an object around? :D
yeah but nor. rugby has no relevance to football.
So why we talkin about it? its a totally different game to american football too

US football, like NFL stuff, is a mix between rugby and football (soccer), so it should be called Ruccer.

F*ck knows where soccer came from.
