Rename football in America, Trump says, because soccer owns that title - Lemmy.World

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.

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