Liking football.

 

We have a football sub-forum you know :rolleyes:

 

That's not football. That's soccer, which is fairly IDM.

calling football soccer is pretty opposite of IDM.

It's really an entirely non-egregious derivation of "Association Football," and as such is actually more accurate than merely saying "football" to refer to Association Football.

So what do you call American Football when it's played by a team not from America? See, this is why soccer is soccer.

American football = Only use of the "foot" is when you're kicking for a field-goal or punting once in a while.

Association football = You are pretty using your feets all the fucking time.

 

Conclusion = Let's call that american sport for football and the other one for soccer.

 

Sorry, but that has always pissed me off.

Then you call it American Football, or Football if you're talking to people who would generally understand Football to mean American Football.

 

It's American Football as in "American Rules" Football. Sort of like how Rugby refers to "Rugby Rules" Football, which originated at the Rugby School.

 

See also, "Australian Football" or "Australian Rules Football" which is often called simply "Football" locally.

 

edit: etymologically, football most likely originated to describe games that were played "on foot" not "with the foot." It's the shit poor blokes played while their lords and masters watched with disdain whilst mounted on magnificent steeds.

Because the dudes who developed basketball about 130 years ago decided to call it basketball and didn't think of it as a variation/derivation of historical "footballs."

 

Basketball was actually sort of invented specifically as a gym exercise. And they used soccer/association footballs before the ball itself was created.

Real football should be called:

 

Football

American football should be called:

 

Prolate Spheroid Pig Ball With Body Armor

 

End of discussion. The new terms will be used from now on. Death by firing-squad is the only alternative.
