For a moment I thought he was having a rare moment of clarity, but no, he was having a common moment of corruption

I think people put too much weight on his ramblings. He doesn't actually plan on this. He's just schmoozing.

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.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 112 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Omg. Did he say this after getting his participation trophy from FIFA?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 76 points 4 days ago

Of course he did

So he had a meeting with a soccer player then?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

They gave him a peace prize. The FIFA Peace Prize smh

Maybe we should have some people from SI give him something, so that the US will ditch those stupid units. He's got a peace prize and a jet, so something else... How about a gold helicopter with AI in it? We could have the tail rotor fitted with LEDs some it'll spell out TRUMP when flying. If we better make it good enough, maybe he'll have ICE pickup anybody using feet or fahrenheit.

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!

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Concussion-ball has a nice ring to it.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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...

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.

Finally something we can agree on.

NFL FootBall can be renamed to HandEgg.

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.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 36 points 4 days ago (3 children)

😒 NFL football

🤩 NSFW football

😒 NSFL football

This is one of the rare cases where I don't disagree with Trump.

But they could just call it what the rest of the world call their sport. "American Football".

It has their favorite word in it. America.

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?"

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.

The fact that he parrots a good point that millions of other people have been saying for decades does not make him a smart man.

The fact that he does so at a podium in the most powerful position in the world does call into question his intelligence.

I hate that his fucking followers will be more angry about this than the fact that he raped kids on Epstein's island.

I don't disagree, it needs a different name, has not much to do with feet, but really? A trophy is enough of a bribe for him to upset his base of NFL fans? Can someone bribe him to get us on Metric system?

That would be hilarious. Please let him accomplish that and nothing else.

Just call it "Handegg"

Thing in languages quite often don’t make much sense, but trying to correct them makes even less sense.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

Wow. So glad this is what’s on what’s left of his mind. Not soaring prices or atrocities committed in his name. No, this is what matters.
