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.
Okay, we'll rename American football to Cricket.
Perhaps you've momentarily forgotten about USA's metric vs imperial nonsense
How many moon landings have been done in metric?

Which is, btw, true for most of academia/research/engineering.
Part of all of them? I guess?
More like, how many Mars orbiters have been lost because of the US measurements?
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.
Rugby is older than American football? Huh. I'm going to annoy the shit out of my coworkers with that little gem.
