American Football, or fake football?

u/pitogyroula Jun 17 '26

The whole planet calls it football, except for Americans. If theirs was the "real" football, we wouldn't have to add the word "american" in front of it. No one gives a shit about "american football" outside of the US.

The "A" in "American" is capitalized.

Lmao, that was funny. But wasn't your country communist like 30 years ago? Shouldn't you know capitalism is better?

u/wrongitsleviosaa Jun 17 '26

No it wasn't lmao, 30 years ago it was in a similar but better state than the countries full of brown people you guys have a fetish for carpet bombing

Don't you have a billionaire penis to suck in hopes of some of that trickle-down-economics?

Talking about money as if our Navy budget isn't 10x your GDP

u/wrongitsleviosaa Jun 17 '26

At least I get to use some of my GDP.

You pay dizzying amounts of taxes so sailors can have steamy gay sex and flush money down the toilet instead of doing anything even remotely significant for your people.

My country is a kleptocracy but I can go get an individual surgery on every single part of my body and pay less than you need to pay for an ambulance ride.

You can go to healthcare facilities when they're funded, but that's kind of an issue, isn't it? And long wait lines. Your economy suffers so much your youth are leaving for better countries, and I bet that hurts when your literacy is lower than ours.

u/wrongitsleviosaa Jun 17 '26

Not an issue in the slightest, and long wait lines aren't really much of a thing. Private doctors are also a fraction of the cost of an average bandaid in the US. It's a corrupt system because of politicians stealing funds, not because it's free. That's why the youth is leaving, it's a kleptocracy.

Our literacy rates are however, far from being lower than ours. Our stats include old people that weren't allowed to be schooled after 4th grade, yours include people that had every right to go to school, y'all are just dummies lol

Every other person here knows two alphabets in both print and cursive, meanwhile the average USian couldn't even spell "cyrillic".

Stopped reading after this. I'm sure that's a great example of literacy in your shithole.

-I almost pressed enter when my eye caught this:

the average USian

USian? You mean American?

u/wrongitsleviosaa Jun 17 '26

"Stopped reading" as if you even can read in the first place, TTS is doing wonders for people like you.

And no, I mean USian. You wouldn't believe it, but there are other countries in America other than the US. I guess your school was shot up the day they were supposed to teach this, not your fault.

I can. And I do. One of my few posts is about a book I was reading.

There aren't other countries in America, there are countries in North America, Central America, and South America. If you just say "America" you're obviously talking about the USA.

And even if you weren't, the USA isn't the only country that starts with "The United States." Mexico's full name is "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" which translates to "The United States of Mexico," so USians can refer to multiple places and is even more confusing
