One of my all time favorite memes
Most of the world calls it football because feet and ball. American football is usually referred to as commercials or ads.
hand egg
It seems so stupid to me that Americans took over the name football for a sport thats not even mainly played by foot, and then pretend like thats the sport that naturally belongs to the name. Like wtf.
pretty sure england called it soccer before america…and football is the better sport its just facts
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.
Search “brutal NFL hits” on YouTube and tell me again why you think a bunch of dudes on their knees hugging and playing reverse tug-of-war is manly
Check the community, Chuckles!
Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.
You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.
The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”
The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”
Perfect summation, only people saying one is tougher than the other do so from the other side of the TV screen.
Yeah I was just returning the energy of the first armchair expert, honestly. Rugby is hardass, too.
For sure, I was just coming in with a tush push.
Haha good shit
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?
The pile of discarded football managers begs to differ.
Soccer = aSSOCiation Football. It’s a British term.
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.

What’s the britbowl? Who are the GB lions?
What are you talking about?
You have google.
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!
Nothing
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 🤣
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
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.
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 : Footy‘Soccer’ is the British word for the sport already. Don’t let them pretend
Oi! When I finish this pint after watching old top gear on Dave I’m gonna give you what for you America cunt!
Got the British teeth right
How 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?
Like shits pretty sweet.
based on the measurements of some royalty
Your royalty, specifically.
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?
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.
