Do it, slut.
What's next? 'Murica starts using the metric system?
It's weird that the US calls "football" "soccer" and "american football" "football" but it is what it is and a president shouldn't be able to rename things on a whim.
I've been saying we should go back to calling it Grid Iron because it sounds cooler. But now we have to keep it so this motherfucker isn't made happy.
Hahaha! FIFA game him a peace prize to get this to happen.
This timeline is ridiculous.
I'm surprised it took that long. Football is missing one of the biggest markets in the world and they'd award that dumbass with a trophy daily if that got them any closer to football in the US.
He's absolutely right. And while we're at it, can we rename the "World" Series?
Canada has a team in the league. It counts.
So, the National Basketball League of Australia could call their championship the World Cup of Basketball? It has two countries in it.
Anyone can call anything anything they want! Names mean fuck all
So now we do care what other countries think?

I fucking hate that I actually agree with the fat child rapist. I'm now going to go and scrub my skin off with bleach!!
If it helps, he doesn't actually believe this, or care either way, he's just extremely bribable.
He should rename "the gulf of America" back to "the gulf of mexico" while he's at it
Trumpball?
I can't believe he said something the entire world outside US agree with 🤣
Rugby or Gridiron would be great!
otherwise i hate everything about this. i need to take a break from football because FIFA is just too overtly disgusting lately.
US football dispensed with most of the rules of international rugby years ago. Gridiron would make sense though.
fair enough!
This will be what gets him shot.
Nah he's gone after the NFL before. He's a pedophile convicted felon, I don't think his dumb musing about football will be his downfall.
Again you mean
"again"
Where’s the missing piece of ear?? Can’t find it, right?
If he really got shot in the ear there should be a chuck misting from the top rim but it’s clean as a baby orangutan's ass.
Cartilage doesn't regrow.
He was shot? I don't remember that.
He was shot near, maybe.

also the head of the football commision, of fifa, gave him him a "fifa peace prize"
We all know he wants to call it "Trump Ball". Hell, why only replace one word, let's call the game "Trump Trump".
I am recommending we call it concussion ball.
this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.
I suggest remaining American football to "rugby for pansies".
Or maybe "handegg".
On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.
While the most accurate description is probably Addball, I think turn based based rugby might be an acceptable compromise.
"rugby for pansies" until you get CTE or some irreversible brain injury...
You can get CTE playing rugby or soccer too.
Rugby players don't get hit like football players do. The lack of padding changes the game.
Different kinds of hits, but... goddamn. I saw a guy in a rugby game take a full-on elbow to the face while running full tilt and go pinwheeling to the ground... and the game continued without so much as a comment from the announcer.
The passing and scrum rules also change the game. There’s less chance for an unexpected and dangerous hit in rugby. More shove, less hard contact.
Most people who mock American football as ‘rugby for wusses’ (or similar) don’t even know how the game works, let alone what the legitimate differences are.
In fact handegg players are more likely to suffer serious injuries because of it AFAIK. Particularly brain damage.
Gridiron.
It's known as Gridiron Football already, just use the other half...

Good grief, there's more! Absolutely unacceptable that something could develop from an earlier version and keep any fragment of identity.
While we are at it we should rename the hundreds of cities named the same as European cities. Maybe even consider renaming Georgia, why would they want to be named after King George
Georgia is also a country. Gets confusing because some Americans will tell your their state when asked where they're from, even when overseas. I've complimented someone who'd said they're from Georgia on their English before.
(On a side note, can you imagine travelling to the US, being asked where you're from, then going 'oh I'm from alto adige originally')
