    I love how any video about football/soccer has the comments full of people butthurt that the USA says soccer.

      Editing … It's more confusing than anything else. Even though football was already a thing you lot invented your own game (well, it's a bit of a Rugby rip off but still....) that barely involves using your feet and called that football and renamed the game mainly involving feet where the football name actually makes sense.

      Editing … I just don't get why it enrages so many Euro's (Brits especially) that we call the sport by a different name (a name invented by the Brits i might add) get over it already. What makes me laugh is all the people that were butthurt in the comments must have not realized that the video was making fun of Americans.

      Editing … Though i think the name world series is funny too. Their are not many countries that could beat the USA in baseball. The Dominican Republic and Cuba are probably the only countries that could beat us. Maybe Japan but i don't think they would have as many Ace pitchers as the USA or Dominicans. And before you point to the Olympics many Americans and Dominicans don't enter because the MLB is more important to them so your not getting the best of the best.

      Editing … Yeah, as far I know it's a weird contraction of association Football that used to be a posh nickname for the sport then caught on again in the states. As I say I'm not enraged, I'm just bemused at how illogical renaming the sport involving feet (or latching onto an old unused name if you prefer) so you can use the football name for a sport mainly involving hands is. Admit it Ara, it just doesn't make sense ;)

      Editing … I know you're not mad about it but every video/story i see about USA Soccer will have many butthurt Euro's in the comments. Does Association Football make more sense? yes, but at this point its never going to change. NFL football is ingrained in American culture and is by far the most popular sport. The name Soccer isn't going away. And i've heard the handegg before, you guys must have some pointy eggs if they look like NFL footballs :P
