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

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 182 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 108 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 72 points 1 week ago

Of course he did

NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it "Brooms," which leaves us with either NBA or MLB, so we need a new name for Basketball and/or Baseball.

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 1 week ago (3 children)

😒 NFL football

🤩 NSFW football

😒 NSFL football

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?"

[–] ghostlychonk@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure this is just another example of his current opinion or idea being the same as the last person he talked to.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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...

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.

Just call what the NFL plays soccer. Then use football for the actual game with ⚽

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.

This is one of the things people don't get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn't make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn't actually "do" anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.

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!
