One of my all time favorite memes
Football is a sport played all over the world. American Football is only played in the USA and Canada.
Sorry, Americans, but you lost this battle ages ago. Just let it go.
Funfact soccer is a British word not an American one. The British popularized it.
The same thing happened with aluminum. The current American way of saying it is actually the original British wah. Since they made it.
The British changed and America just stuck to the original way the British wanted everyone to say it.
So again it’s not America who’s wrong, it’s the British being stupid telling people what to do. Then getting mad when they do it.
Fun fact: Freedom fries is an American phrase, so Americans are being stupid when calling them French fries!
Run it by me again… You carry the ball in your hands and run forwards? You occasionally throw it, again using your hands?
What do you call it?
Football.
American football is gaining popularity in Europe and South America at a pretty healthy clip. Enough so that the NFL is now sending teams to play games in those places. They are even starting to consider expanding a couple of teams to Europe in the future. And there are more and more international players starting to get a foothold in the NFL as players.
You might have won a battle, but you could lose still lose the war…
Sure thing, buddy.
So, what did I say that factually wrong?
Lol at American football. What a joke. America just trying to be the center of attention everywhere, pushing their shitty head concussions on people they don’t even want in their country. As an “American”, America sucks big donkey dick. So does American footy ball
Ahhh, enjoy your superiority!
They’ve been at that since the 90’s and its never taken off. Why bother when we have Rugby?
The numbers say otherwise. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t bother.
What numbers?
The numbers of people who stay up until stupid hours of the night to watch games. And the number of tickets sold to people filling stadiums to capacity when the NFL to others countries. The NFL sent 6 teams to play last year. A game in Ireland, England, and Germany. Plus 2 teams Mexico and Brazil each. And each game was sold out and filled stadiums.
Just like soccer is becoming a much bigger thing in the US, American football IS growing in the rest of the world. And there are some fledgling rugby amateur leagues popping up too. But we still don’t play cricket though. Baseball is better. Though I can’t prove it
Nothing
I’d fully respect the NFL if they started calling it “handegg” instead of football.
jk, I’d still not respect them, but they should totally do it.
There is a lot of interest among Europeans to watch American football, but there isn’t really anyone playing it here. I think it’s because American football has more complicated rules than rugby 😂
There have been a few European players in the NFL. The team I follow, the Minnesota Vikings, have had a number of international players at least tryout for the team. We’ve had a German wide receiver on the roster for 2 years, a player from Africa, (I can’t remember the country right now), and a couple Aussie and New Zealand kickers. In fact, we will have a punter from Australia this year trying to make the team. And there have been a few Polynesians in the NFL over the years also.
So, American football does have enough worldwide players to draw at least few players. Though almost all attend collage in the US to gain better skills and attention. I wonder if the reason more Europeans don’t gain much attention from the NFL is because you generally aren’t big enough, (don’t feel bad 90% of the world isn’t). There is almost a genetic lottery you need to win at birth to even have a start at being good enough.
Aww…feeling insecure that not enough people are playing American football. As if Europeans aren’t big enough to even play rugby. Wait until you play against the bigger Eastern Europeans.
Feeling small? Trying to compensate?
You are the one trying to shove American football to everyone despite everyone not being interested 🤣
What’s the britbowl? Who are the GB lions?
What are you talking about?
You have google.
I like how the little guy to the right of him is swooning lol
Americans when you call it “rugby for girls” and not “runny jumpy catch between adverts”:
Womens rugby is infinitely better than American Football
I can’t even imagine a more ridiculously bad take. Ur bad boooooo. Clearly don’t respect women either. MMA is the only entertaining sport. All others are adults playing children’s games.
Please go shower
What’s that?
It’s like indoor rain, but it can also be warm and soapy.
Sounds terrible
Great witty response, petal.
Soccer was coined by the British, btw. It’s your fault we call it that.
I’m not British, don’t EVER accuse me of something so heinous again.
The British invented the term soccer. If they give you shit about using it, tell them they can fuck right off.
British toffs invented the term soccer.
Yeah, it’s like saying we should call rugby “rugger”, because that’s what the old Etonians called it (I don’t know if they still do).
Get em
Brits when you use the word that was invented by Brits for it.
Brits use the word because they weren’t competent enough at Ōllamaliztli, so they had to invent a lesser sport with no ritual sacrifice.
no ritual sacrifice.
What is even the point then?
Pretty sure there is more than one foot involved. Therefore it should be called feetball.
That’s why football is called football. There’s only one kicker. One foot.
See? Here we go.
Soccer - Uses both feet. Should be called feetball.
NFL - Only uses one foot to touch the ball. During punts or feildgoals. Accurately named football.
Soccer = aSSOCiation Football. It’s a British term.
Fake British word is probably my all time least favourite genre of meme
I’m not a big fan of goulash.
See? Opinions aren’t fun when not asked for.
I quite enjoyed your opinion on goulash though
Fucking soupy spaghetti with macaroni noodles. GTFOH with that shit.
Which one is fake?
Boppy, it’s fallen to the wayside as of late, wouldn’t call it dead as a dodo but it’s about on par with things like glaciers and nuance
I use it daily
Single handedly keeping the word alive. Thank you for your service o7
‘Soccer’ is the British word for the sport already. Don’t let them pretend
eggball
Can we just call it all football!?
- Ruggers Football
- Assoccers Football
- Gridders Football
- Basketters Netball
- Softy Rounders Ball
- Crickers Baseman’s Ball
And let’s have mixed teams
Given the original meaning of football is a ball game played on foot rather than on horseback, yes, they are all football.
Nah
Let’s
Reference to it with proximity to yanks :
You are the only non yank there : Soccer
There are 60% yanks : Association football
There are 30% or less yanks : football
There are 0% yanks, and 100% Brits that actually like this boring sport : FootyHow would Americans look when they realize they’re using metric units to measure voltage, instead of some base 12 absurdity that is based on the measurements of some royalty?
based on the measurements of some royalty
Your royalty, specifically.
Like shits pretty sweet.
Oi! When I finish this pint after watching old top gear on Dave I’m gonna give you what for you America cunt!
