as an american i just hate the use of the word soccer.  it's so demeaning.

here you have the most interntational widely played sport in the world played equally
by men and women, boys and girls with the most minimal of equipment and the sport
is called football by everybody in the world.  Which is exactly what it is.  Foot ball.

 
Oh, I'm sorry no.  Americans call it soccer, thus Koreans call it socccer. 
Who else calls it soccer? Nobody.  Cuz it's football.

Some yanks come along and create this 'new' game.  A great sport, don't get me wrong,
but in dire need of equiptment to make it right.  Extensive equipment and helmets and jersys
and...the game is played on a gridiron and what do they call it, football?!?

What's a foot got to do with it.  Yards, not feet.  Passes and recepetions and
interceptions, not foot balling.  Tackling and sudden death overtimes.

The game should be called GRIDIRON.  It's more fitting.  Or some other name,
other than American Football, cuz they play it in Canada as well.  Well I guess they are part of the
Amerians.  But, do they call it soccer anywhere else?  Hell no. 

Football is the proper name for soccer just like kickball is the proper name for THAT sport,
not foot baseball, even if that is the direct translation from the korea. 발야구! 
It's kickball, damn it.

hate to be a pricko for semantics but sometimes, you just have to be.  Foot ball.  The most exciting part
of American football is when a quarterback throws the ball and the wide receiver catches the ball with
his hands.  Doesn't sound like football to me.

But what do I know. 

Really.  What do I know.  Shoulder pads, helmets, yeah, so much foot involvement.  The name is fitting.

I take back everything I said.  American football is the real football, cuz, feet don't really matter.  Only yardage.
