The biggest fail of American culture (beside not giving me a green card), is that they call this otherwise very interesting sport "football". It has "copycat" written all over it.
Punts and field goal attempts. Thats it. By that standard, what you call "soccer" could be called "handball" since the keepers can touch the ball, and there are throw-ins

No, not this again.

It's not like I talk about my desire for a green card that often.

Fair enough. Have you thought about immigrating the illegal way? ie the Popular way.

I thought even the most willfully ignorant by this time understood that "football" was the game played by 'the foot" - i.e. foot soldiers, as opposed to mounted ball games like polo.  That game evolved into rugby, association football, and American football all at about the same time. 

I know that beeteaters only have half the brain cells of humans and so take twice as long to learn anything, but even they should by now recognize the truth slowly percolating through their skulls.

Obviously, you didn't "hit a nerve" so much as "show your ass" and your fanny got chapped in a very dispassionate way.  As i pointed out, only the most willfully ignorant still discuss this issue as though it were a controversy.  If you think pretending to be ignorant is clever, pretend away - but be aware that, to the outside world, your excellent pretense of ignorance is indistinguishable from the real thing.  :cool:

Well, I did trigger long-winded arguments from you with an obvious troll, not to mention my first ever warning on Languish, so I will just mark this with a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" and move on ^_^

If that is the biggest fail of American culture I can live with that.
