Please explain me the american logic behind this ⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩
We can all agree, this is a foot =
This is a ball =
This sport is call basketball because the whole point in to put the ball into a basket which is represented by an open net
and this sport is call handball because you play with a ball and your hand
We all collectively agree about these things being logic
You just use thee anatomy with which you play, add ball at the end of the word and it gives you the perfect name for a sport
So now explain me who in america saw a game where you play with your hands and find it logic to call it football, and all the americans to just collectively agree that it make sens
because to me it doesn't make sense at all, so explain to me american people !!!!
Why are you calling the sport who fit the most the word " football" , soccer ???
yeah basically weirdos...
at least they could name the real football just "ball"
instead of soccer lol
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) traces the written use of the word "football" (as "foteballe"), referring to the game, to 1409. The first recorded use of the word to refer to the ball was in 1486, and the first use as a verb in 1599.
The word "soccer" originated as an Oxford "-er" slang abbreviation of "association", and is credited to late nineteenth century English footballer, Charles Wreford-Brown.[8] It has been speculated that both this story and the William Webb Ellis rugby story are apocryphal, however this appears to be a revision of history as the English term 'soccer' fell out of favor while England differentiated their language from America's (where the term soccer had become widely used) English in the 20th century due to growing American popularity.[9] The New York Times, published in 1905: “It was a fad at Oxford and Cambridge to use “er” at the end of many words, such as foot-er, sport-er, and as Association did not take an “er” easily, it was, and is, sometimes spoken of as Soccer.”[10] There is also the sometimes-heard variation, "soccer football".[11]
Because soccer is such a boring game that we had to give the name "football" to a REAL game.... 
Um, who cares lol?
Call it what you want where ever you are.
The Americans can call it what they want. Not sure why something that has 0 effect on you triggered you the point of not only making a thread with huge ass font but multiple posts within the thread with the same font.
I don't get mad at British people for calling gasoline petrol when Americans call it gas. Not that big of a deal.

And if it you look at a map of the few places that still call it "soccer" many are former English Colonies: USA, New Zealand and Australia. I've read other places as well that football and soccer were used interchangeably in England up until 50ish years ago
What can I say, Isolationism was a big thing here until 20th century
I swear some of you are such weirdos to take this thread so seriously
but i mean..
american people are weird tho

that's such a non serious question
and some of you are really here getting trigger and mad cuz of this thread and this question who was just a joke
i swear some of you really need to breath and chill 
Lol, you literally made this thread with 50 sized font about a country you don't even live in.
Right sweetie.
Wow i guess weirdo really exist '-'
i guess you really need to take some fresh air and see the world
because :
1. not everybody using big size font means they are mad, and it's really weird to think this
2. the only reason why i use this font size is because of all the picture i used, i was afraid that people would just scroll though the picture without reading the text i write, if i use a small font size like 12
and i guess i did the right thing using such a big font because you all read the text

Do you really think I'll believe anything you say? Also, why are you writing paragraphs about this if you don't care? You don't have to explain yourself to me lol.
because it was just a light and joke thread
but because you seem to not know how to take a joke you took it seriously
that's funny because you made it look like i'm thee one mad and trigger but all the other people who read the thread took it as a joke and joke about it too
only you seem to have a problem, you know when it seems that you're the only one having a problem with something is maybe that you are the problem
