I'll never understand a generation that rants in videos, instead of using that time for education to learn why something is the way that it is. Be hungry for knowledge.

Agreed. Ignorance over this issue is just annoying.

"Bala-balaaa-baaa! Chevrolet! Beep-Beep!!"
Awesome.

However, I think that's the Toyota song...

We call it football to piss Germans off.

That's why.

Seems to be working.

Whiny German.

Long story short, they are both called football because they both have origins in Rugby Football. It developed in one direction here in the US, in the other... everywhere else. And simply didn't evolve at all in Australia. I find it a little aggravating myself and I LIVE here, but like so many things it didn't matter back when it was made and after a certain point it was so ingrained in the culture that it's simply "that way" and no amount of effort will ever change it.

Football is the regional term used for the most popular of a family of sports. The term "football" refers to a game that is played on FOOT instead of on horse, which in the past was a necessary distinction.

In places where rugby is the most popular version, football refers to rugby. In nations where American Football is the most popular version (US and Canada primarily) it is known as football. In the rest of the world, which prefers Association football (Soccer is a UK term referring to this specific rule set, the US just uses the term more so it's assumed we coined it) football refers to...well obviously Association football rules football.

Why is it so difficult for the rest of the world to understand that the word "football" is not a name but rather a term to be used as seen fit by a given culture?

btw this also means that the term "Soccer" is both more accurate and more specific when referencing the sport known around the world as "football" and is actually usable around the world without confusion, where as football would mean upwards of 3 different things depending on what country you're in...so why is it dumb to call it soccer?

I think the main point is, the truth about it isn't as funny as the rants are
