So the World Cup is here. You know, the once-in-4-years event that stops wars, brings ravaged countries together, and the only time where Americans actually "care" about soccer. Yeah, the sport that every other country plays as it's #1 sport, except for 'mericuhhh (FUCK YEA). Fortunately for myself, since I am a worldly man, I am well versed in this sport, and therefore my opinions expressed are 100% correct (quick reminder for those who somehow forgot).
Of course, because Americans hates foreigners and foreigners hate us, the soccer/football argument ALWAYS has to come up. Wahh wahh that's not real football wahh wahh why do you call it soccer?!?! I will currently put both you groups of fucks in your place. THIS IS NOT AN ARGUMENT IN WHICH SPORT IS BETTER. I ENJOY THEM BOTH EQUALLY. YOUR MOTHER IS A WHORE.
So the whole argument stems from here-
Okay, fair enough. LOGICALLY it makes sense. As a REASONABLE human being, I can see why calling it football, like 99% of the rest of the world does, makes sense. Which is why, even though I'm American, I don't lose sleep when I hear soccer being referred to as football. Will I do it? No. But if you're being a douchebag and you say "STFU LOL YOU CANT EVEN USE YOUR HANDS IN SOCCER THAT'S NOT REAL FOOTBALL" without realizing your immediate logical fallacy, you, my friend, have been dropped as a child.
On the other hand, it is called soccer not because Americans decided to sit around in the early 1900s and say "Hey, lets call it something completely different than what everyone else is calling it! Hey what's a fucking really random ass word? How's bout soccer? LOL"
The term came from the fact that football, before there were official rules that determined the game, had different types- RUGBY football, ASSOCIATION football, etc. Guess what? The British decided to shorten association football to ... SOCCER, which is why a bunch of former British colonies refer to it as soccer. Don't believe me? go see how "Australian football" is played. And you know what their association football mascot is? the SOCCEROOS. Fuck you you elitist foreigners, questioning why we call it soccer. It's because you're a piece of shit.
So fuck this semantics argument bullshit. If you argue about semantics then you're fucking retarded. "I understand that the subway in England is called the metro, but I can't fucking grasp the simple concept that soccer outside the US is called football, and that American football is referred to as Gridiron!!! I think I might actually be fully retarded!!!"
