Gehirnerschütterungsrisikorotationsellipsoidsport
It captures the defining elements of the sport: concussion risk and non-spherical object that I refuse to call "ball". And rugby can be Gehirnerschütterungsrisikorotationsellipsoidsport 2 or Rotationsellipsoidgehirnerschütterungsrisikosport.

I’ve been calling it ‘stupid’ for some time and never really get any cogent pushback. Sports!
So he had a meeting with a soccer player then?
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.

He's always lazer focused on the most important issues facing americans.
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.
Concussion-ball has a nice ring to it.
howsabout…Trumpball???
This is what happens when you only have a partial working brain and surround yourself with idiot cocksucking minions.
I can't wait until this fuckstain is dead, buried, and I'm taking a huge Taco Bell shit on his grave.
I usually call NFL 'American Football ' why is every so wound up these days?
That’s the official name (Amerikkalainen jalkapallo) for the sport in Finland (and I guess all over Europe). Nickname is jenkkifutis (yankee footie) and it’s short version is just jefu which is used a lot.

Turning into the Mad King Trump. These absurd name changes and radical military actions like bombing boats and threatening Venezuela.

Trump is just angry at the nfl. Has been since the 80s. His tiny feelings are hurt he doesn’t own a team. And then he tried that USFL thing. Which, oddly, failed. After the USFL decided to move to a calendar in direct competition with the nfl at trumps urging. It failed, because of the decisions of Trump. Go figure. But he is just a sad angry little man who’s feelings are hurt.
Thing in languages quite often don’t make much sense, but trying to correct them makes even less sense.
National Rugby Association
That's the unexpected right thing coming from Trump. Seriously, only Americans call a game played with hands "football" and a game played with feet "soccer." Come on Trump, next fix the measurements so Americans don't measure in pots and pans (or maybe it was cups and spoons) and thumbs and elbows (or maybe it was inches and feet).
The term “soccer” originated in the UK as a shortened slang for “assoc(iation) football”.
The US didn’t come up with that term, like almost everything else, they stole it from someone. Don’t blame the U.S. for the UKs habit of abbreviating stuff.
Quick correction. We didnt steal it, we used it because of the British, then the British decided they didnt like the term anymore and swapped to "football" and Americans just kinda kept using it. Same thing with imperial measurements. They were invented by the British, we used them cause we were a british colony, then Britain changed their mind and Americans stuck with the original.
Long story short, British invent something and the Americans use it cause former british colony, then the british change their mind and then make fun of the Americans while the pretend they werent the people who invented it in the first place.
Its some gaslighting bullshit

Calvin Ball. Since he's so prone to making up rules as he goes.
Well, what they play is specifically gridiron football, so maybe the NGL?
NGL, I’m liking this idea the more I think about it.

Just call it "Handegg"
I still do not understand how this guy is given so much power. Seriously, what the fuck? How does he keep winning? How does everyone keep bending the knee? How are there so few people telling him to go fuck himself? Is he scary in real life?
