The NFL just needs to invent a peace prize and present it to Trump, then he'll immediately change his tune and start insisting that FIFA changes their terminology to Soccer.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 115 points 11 months ago

Omg. Did he say this after getting his participation trophy from FIFA?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 79 points 11 months ago

Of course he did

NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it "Brooms," which leaves us with either NBA or MLB, so we need a new name for Basketball and/or Baseball.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so 'soccer' would need a new... Hey, that actually works out.

The NFL doesn't need to drop the word "football" entirely, they just need to be more specific so there's no confusion. They could change their name to "Non-Soccer Football League", or NSFL for short.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

😒 NFL football

🤩 NSFW football

😒 NSFL football

Seriously?? That's the price of FIFA's bribe? Not, idk, "Call off your ICE ghouls at the next match, because we need to sell tickets?"

This is one of the rare cases where I don't disagree with Trump.

But they could just call it what the rest of the world call their sport. "American Football".

It has their favorite word in it. America.

I don't disagree, it needs a different name, has not much to do with feet, but really? A trophy is enough of a bribe for him to upset his base of NFL fans? Can someone bribe him to get us on Metric system?

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 hate that his fucking followers will be more angry about this than the fact that he raped kids on Epstein's island.

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...

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.

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.

The ball is oval. They just need to restrict the age of players to 13-19 years old then they could call it "Ovalteen". That's gold Gerry! That's gold!
