The NFL just needs to invent a peace prize and present it to Trump, then he'll immediately change his tune and start insisting that FIFA changes their terminology to Soccer.
Omg. Did he say this after getting his participation trophy from FIFA?
Of course he did
He's always lazer focused on the most important issues facing americans.
Gulf of Football
- America ball
- Freedom ball
- Big beautiful ball
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit

I don't disagree, it needs a different name, has not much to do with feet, but really? A trophy is enough of a bribe for him to upset his base of NFL fans? Can someone bribe him to get us on Metric system?

Lemon Toss?
This is one of the things people don't get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn't make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn't actually "do" anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.
They've gotten too much shit actually renamed though. Denali, Gulf of Mexico, sort of the Department of Defense, Institute of peace.
They aren't gonna get anynone government contolled stuff renamed unless the owner is a real MAGA brown noser. The NFL isn't gonna do shit he wants. The owners have hated him since the 80s.

Seriously?? That's the price of FIFA's bribe? Not, idk, "Call off your ICE ghouls at the next match, because we need to sell tickets?"
I'm pretty sure this is just another example of his current opinion or idea being the same as the last person he talked to.

The NFL doesn't need to drop the word "football" entirely, they just need to be more specific so there's no confusion. They could change their name to "Non-Soccer Football League", or NSFL for short.

Hand Egg
NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.
Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it "Brooms," which leaves us with either NBA or MLB, so we need a new name for Basketball and/or Baseball.

Knockoff Rugby League.
maybe 'national gridiron league', perhaps?
oh and trump's an a-hole. seriously!
Doofus.
howsabout…Trumpball???
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
