sirvoddmort, with all due respect, you could not be more wrong. Making a declarative statement that something is irrelevant does not serve as a proof.
The fact remains, aside from your clouded emotional outlook, that football as played in America and Canada, even on the professional level, has no other name associated with it other than football.
Soccer, wants to be known by two names: soccer and football. Sorry, only one name per sport. Stop hogging up two names; one of which refers to another sport entirely.
No more ambiguity. Soccer will retain soccer and leave the term football to football. With the new rules in effect, there will be zero confusion as to what soccer is and what football is.
Cased solved!
Thank you for you attention to this matter.
