    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.

      Are millions of people across the globe really campaigning to change the name of a sport for literal decades? Why? Who cares that much?

        Yes, because people have that much time.

        I agree with them because American Football has very little to do with feet touching the ball, and it’s unnecessarily confusing. I also think Americans should use the metric system, because the Imperial system is also unnecessarily confusing. I am an American, by the way.

      I’m on the side of who the fuck cares what another country decides to call a sport. It has no effect on you at all. The only ppl who seem to complain about it are Europeans who need a reason to seem superior to American so everyone will forget they’ve been fucking up the world 300 years longer than the US
