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.

NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.
Canadians will fucking kill you deader then dead lol
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.
Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so 'soccer' would need a new... Hey, that actually works out.
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?"
It would be so fucking funny if this is the last straw for Americans and they finally rise up.
Gets a bribe from fifa, "we need to change the name of this sportsing"
For a moment I thought he was having a rare moment of clarity, but no, he was having a common moment of corruption
Trump has always been hurt that he couldn't buy a sports team. He tried to buy the Buffalo Bills years ago but it failed.
And the reason he couldn't have a team? Because all the other rich owners, the guys whose club he so desperately wants to be a part of, hate his guts, and want nothing to do with him, so they've iced him out of pro team ownership for DECADES.
No it was because they suspected he had mob ties and was lying about his wealth.
That's definitely PART of the reason they hate him, although you could probably say the same things about most of those owners.
I think a bigger reason is that he's just a massive Putz, and nobody can stand to be around him unless they absolutely have to. They don't want to have him in the owners suite on draft day, running his big mouth, demanding loyalty and respect from everybody, etc. The guy sucks ALL the oxygen from every room he enters, and narcissistic billionaires aren't real big on sharing the spotlight, especially with a massive dickhead like Trump.
They can approve a guy they like, or Trump. Anyone would choose the friend.
Handegg, obviously.
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 knew there'd be something. Bingo bongo.
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...
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.
😒 NFL football
🤩 NSFW football
😒 NSFL football
I'm trying to think what NSFW football would be like. They have some very NSFW wrestling videos out there.
Non-foot non-ball football league
So many NSFL events in schools all year, that big annual NSFL event in a bowl watched my millions, all the advertisers sponsoring NSFL stuff, etc.
Or Not Safe For Life
They can just call it American Football like everyone already does.
NAFL or whatever, if you really need an acronym. No one calls the Bundesliga BL.
Grid Iron League Football
Just call what the NFL plays soccer. Then use football for the actual game with ⚽
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
ISO I believe
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit
You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
Like an amp that you can turn up to 11
0 as freezing isn't bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It's not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit's number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
Which is 99% due to you being used to that.
And I'm sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I've abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system!

Third down and 3 meters to go!
Kicking a 20 meter field goal.
Perfect.
Sad but true, Americans will only do the right thing if they get some benefit, if you give them money. Trump is just the embodiment of everything American. That's why some Americans love him, some hate him.
Hey hey. 1 - it's not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don't see many "poor" poloticians for a reason.
It's true, not all americans and it is not uniquely american thing. But it is a predominant american thing in general and nobody expect different behaviour. Just like "americans are good basketball players". Not all, not uniqiely but when america (USA) is playing you expect that they will win.
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.
I'm surprised he's not naming it Hitler Nazi Pedoball, for the exact same reason.
Well you see, Americans called the game with goalies "soccer" because that's what the British called it back when we were crown colonies, so when we invented the game with linebackers, we called that "football." then everyone else heard our word and decided to change the game with goalies' name to "football." So as usual, America continues to be correct, and the rest of the world is bound and determined to fuck it up.
We call it soccer because we already have a sport called competitive diving.
So as usual, America continues to be correct
Perhaps you've momentarily forgotten about USA's metric vs imperial nonsense
How many moon landings have been done in metric?
This is wrong. Soccer was (by Americans) called Soccer after the word 'association -> assoc -> soccer' because back then it was called 'Association Football' Football is an umbrella term for sports which was not mounted (by foot) and used a ball so 'by foot with ball -> football' So after that to call American Football, Football, is by definition not wrong but misleading for most parts of the world. More precise would be 'American Rugby' since American Football is a derivative of Rugby much more so then of European Football.
American forward-pass Rugby
I feel like that doesn't resolve the problem that American Football has.
This is America - we don’t solve problems, we just ignore them
You're not ignoring it by changing the name, either.
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.
They've gotten too much shit actually renamed though. Denali, Gulf of Mexico, sort of the Department of Defense, Institute of peace.
They aren't gonna get anynone government contolled stuff renamed unless the owner is a real MAGA brown noser. The NFL isn't gonna do shit he wants. The owners have hated him since the 80s.

He said, as if it weren't true...
Totally agree. He doesn't actualy fix things, just talks about it. Then waffles on the idea after the check clears.
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!
