Trump:
It should be called football. This is football, there is no question about it.
We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff.

Trump, TRUMP, you’re alienating your base by fawning over the gay european sport! You’re going to lose subscriber!!
Enamored by the energy of the crowds. None of the american sports hold a candle to the tribalism on display in football. It’s so easy to get sucked into that energy.
It does astound me that with all the violence and pageantry and billions of dollars spent on American football, their sports riots pale in comparison to the UK. Hell, I think us Aussies even have them beat on that front.
I think it’s because they’re not very natural sports. I’ve always got the sense that the american sports, with the exception of basketball which has a pretty strong street culture, are all hyper corporate.
That’s not to say that club football doesn’t have biiiig money involved but all the clubs sprang up naturally around localities originally, there’s a natural distribution, a grassroots and a historic link to the people.
I think European crowds are also quite different. The european sports crowds know how to be one entity, working together, a collective. The american sports crowds always feel like a bunch of individuals, they don’t feel like they even know how to properly connect with one another and form one out of many.
Maybe I’m talking out my ass too though it’s 3am and I’m tired
American fan culture seems incredibly tame. You just consume product, buy the merchandise, get drunk, do what you’re told and that’s that. In the rest of the world fans take things much more seriously. They’re rioting, brawling and stabbing eachother. They fight the other firms, the police and club management. American sports teams are traded among oligarchs like collectables and moved around the country. Nobody would be able to move Millwall FC.
Are football fans sometimes problematic? Absolutely. But at least they’re an authentic working class subculture that doesn’t take it lying down every time oligarchs or politicians try to regulate them.
No ones ever been killed over an american “football” rivalry as far as i know, just proves they have zero dedication
Yeah where’s the gang shootings over an american football match? I haven’t heard about anyone’s front door being shot with a sawn-off shotgun over the game before.
It used to happen over Raiders/49ers games.
I mean yeah, American football is really more of a rugby than a football.
rename it slugby and change the rules to allow the players to punch each other
slugby and give them guns
this is not a joke, this is a 100% serious proposal and I think Trump would support it because it would make the sport more American
While we’re at it, bring the sanctioned ice hockey fights into grass hockey
Honestly, I don’t understand how some yankee hasn’t seen Calcio Storico and formed an american league yet
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
American football is not nearly gay enough to be rugby
Every time I see an American football match I get mad “Why aren’t they all just giving each other a big hug like in proper footy?”
Bring back the biff
Rugby was literally called “rugby football” to distinguish it from gridion football (American football) and association football (soccer).
The Trump bits at the world cup draw were amazing. He kept calling Infantino “Johnny” , like they were best mates from high school. They even ended with YMCA and Trump did a little dance. I kept laughing at everything that was happening.
all over again.They even ended with YMCA and Trump did a little dance.
Trump was joking around with Sheinbaum too afterwards lol.
Yeah, I saw her there lol. Gusanos always have meltdowns when Trump talks with left-wing latam politicians.
This betrayal of ‘American Football’ causes a CHUD version of the “He’s being controlled by Putin” narrative
It is ordained. N?L has some work to do.
NL you say…
the government must be scratching their heads at the countless minor distractions trump is causing lmao.
LMAO now this is what makes him entertaining
Instead of changing Washington Commanders back to the slur, we have an opportunity just rename the whole sport a slur.
cr*ckerball
Gridiron.
Though I, personally, will continue to call it Handegg.
call it slapdick. it has nothing to do with playing the sport but it very accurately describes the players, in highschool at least.
American Football; The least foot use and most boring of all the football codes.
“Soccer” is short for “Association Football” so it isn’t like English speakers are denying soccer is football.
smh they could have used assfoot instead
Assball
🥵
First coherent thing out of his mouth
NEL
National
Encephalopathy
Leaguesports betting meets retirement planning when, after big hits on the field translate to bets being taken on what players will eventually permanently disfigure thenselves during an unsupervised self-destructive episode or which ones will turn family annihilator.
truly, this is the Grand Arena.
Trump changes the NFL to Australian rules football so he can see the big handsome guys in tanktops and short shorts
