Hahaha! FIFA game him a peace prize to get this to happen.

This timeline is ridiculous.

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!!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

If it helps, he doesn't actually believe this, or care either way, he's just extremely bribable.

This will be what gets him shot.

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.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

He was shot? I don't remember that.

He was shot near, maybe.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Nah he's gone after the NFL before. He's pedophile convicted felon, I don't think his dumb musing about football will be his downfall.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

He wasn't shot. His guard hip checked his head mid tackle. That's why they had to get a second opinion from their favorite lying doctor before releasing the medical report.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He's absolutely right. And while we're at it, can we rename the "World" Series?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

Canada has a team in the league. It counts.

[–] Daerun@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I can't believe he said something the entire world outside US agree with 🤣

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Gridiron.

It's known as Gridiron Football already, just use the other half...

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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')

Georgia? You mean Russia? /s. Sorry, figured we'd have a nice Russian invasion joke.. come to think of it, not a good joke. Just a shit country invading borders

[–] Bot@sub.community 3 points 13 hours ago

Now he annoyed his voters I think

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

I am recommending we call it concussion ball.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

We all know he wants to call it "Trump Ball". Hell, why only replace one word, let's call the game "Trump Trump".

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Rugby players don't get hit like football players do. The lack of padding changes the game.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

In fact handegg players are more likely to suffer serious injuries because of it AFAIK. Particularly brain damage.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

also the head of the football commision, of fifa, gave him him a "fifa peace prize"

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 2 points 4 hours ago

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.

Piss off Trump, Aussie Rules is football and nothing else, soccer will always be soccer.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

Although .. to be fair Aussie Rules can also be just Footy.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 0 points 4 hours ago

Except it references within its name that it's a sub group of football.
