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
You, I like you.
Although the etomology of the word football is inconclusive, the most likely explanation is that it's a game played on foot, rather than on a horse.
Also, they're both called football colloquially because they are both derived from a sport called Football but neither of them are actually "Football." Association Football (Soccer) and Gridiron/American Football are the correct names. So really, people calling it Soccer are more correct than people who call it Football.
