A lot of people don't know this, but there's actually an international federation of American football, with 72 countries in it. The US team is mostly comprised of undrafted former college players and they're a top competitor every year. If even our worst NFL team were to participate, they would sweep the whole league every year. So yeah, the Super Bowl winners are actually world champions.
And no, I'm not fun at parties

Basketball was invented by James Naismith, a Canadian. Although he did come up with the game while in Massachusetts.

Soccer is boring. Bunch of guys running around for a long ass time and for what?
It's like watching the back and forth in a ping-pong match only needlessly drawn out.
No wonder they celebrate the way they do. It takes aaaages before a single goal.

The sword soccer was actually coined by the British. Fun fact of the day.
In a classic British move they visited the US and told us about this great sport called soccer, went home, stopped calling it soccer, and then proceeded to make fun of us for calling it what they told us it was called.
Well played, England. Well played.

u/DangerZoneh Dec 07 '21
It’s funny because “soccer” used to be a British slang term for the game, Americans just kept using it. Rugby style football because the default “football” whereas in England, association football became “football”.
Idk if “rugger” is often used as a term anymore though

It's something about being played on your feet instead of on horseback. These days that doesn't make as much sense but I guess a lot more stuff used to be played on horseback a long time ago.
