Oh yeah? Volleyball, handball, basketball, baseball, they all are games being played ON FOOT. According to your logic they should be called “football” too, because they are games played ON FOOT.
But they have other defining features. Such as volleying the ball back in forth, putting a ball in a basket, running from base to base. Come on, tackleball sounds retarded.
and American Football has defining features as well. Since the name Football was taken, they should have named it differently…
-OblongBall
-SnapBall
-PassBall
-FieldBall(not sure if that’s taken)
As for Tackleball, it’s less retarded than reusing a name that is already taken. Also, it only sounds retarded because you’re used to football.
Heck, they could just think up a new name that has nothing to do with the game… soccer would have worked fine (why did they call football soccer? cause they used football on something else)
Boo Yarpo, for booing the whole continent, why don’t you just boo the united states? XD
seriously united statians, what’s with your stubborness? the whole world except you calls the sport with eleven players per team, the round ball and the two only players that are allowed to touch said ball with their hands, football
And don’t even get me started on the metric system…
On behalf of all United States citizens, I’d like to apologize for my country still using the empirical measuring system. It is flawed and nonsensical, especially in the field of engineering. I seriously don’t even bother trying calculations with it. I convert everything, do the work, then convert the answer back into the desired measurements.
I still do not apologize for American Football. I think everyone else in the world should come up with a silly name to call it, just like we did for your football. That way it’s even.
I was kind of thinking along those lines, but having been hit in the shin before I really don’t think he would be in as much pain as the guy he just kicked…unless he’s litterally got balls of steel.
One of the few clips out there that makes soccer look interesting.
FOOOOOOTTTBAALLLLL!!!! HE IS KICKING THE BALLS WITH HIS FOOT! I HATE YOU AMERICAN!
And we love you, too, backwards foreigner.
Considering that the U.S.A. is widely know as one of the most backwards countries in the world.. that makes babybantick correct again.
Citation?
Truth
Seriously, shut up. The “football” part of American Football refers to it being a game played ON FOOT, as opposed to horses (like with polo).

It is called Football!!!
Just like I wouldn’t expect you to call it soccer if you are not American, don’t expect me to call it football.
Boo, America!
Yay England and… um… the other English-speaking countries where they call it “Football!”

allright. How about “handegg”?
EggBall would be a nice name.
Throw-the-oddly-shaped-ball
There.
Fair enough.
The term Soccer originated in England, so your argument is invalid.
and that was the winning comment lol
lol why does the kicker drop too? you can tell he does it on purpose.
IT’S A TRAP
He is a soccer player, he has to use those 4 years of acting classes sometime.
He’s experiencing the excruciating pain that comes from having someone’s nuts collide with your shin. You’ve obviously never had to endure such agony.
I was kind of thinking along those lines, but having been hit in the shin before I really don’t think he would be in as much pain as the guy he just kicked…unless he’s litterally got balls of steel.
shinguards- they do nothing!
sarcasm- it is lost on you!
Sympathy pain
I was thinking the same thing. What reason did he have to fall?
broke his foot in that guy’s balls.
Simple, his legs get caught between the other guys legs. So he decides its a better idea to fall on his back then on his legs.
A female could never undertstand why I am groaning from simply viewing this…
You kiddin’? I’m flinching and grabbing my vulva in empathy.
(Translation for the horny: GIGGITY.)
Looks painful, I’m more of the type that likes to share great goals.
Like this one, check it out… http://shrt.fm/y3lYcT
Why is yellow guy grabbing his butt? Did the kick dislocate… something?
2 words, “man balls”, they get looooong baby
Not this way.
GGGOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!
ROFL (copter)
Blue one’s italian
Love the guy in blue going down just in case the refs weren’t watching. Football has turned into a sport for pansies.
Someone’s going to be swollen up & hurting tomorrow!!
Kicking balls – your doing it right
Grammar – You’re doing it wrong.
That’s not a foul, that’s just a couple of guys having a good time
Typical Soccer players…Falling down “Injured” as if he destroyed his enchanted shin…(Yeah, I said soccer…You mad Europe???)
