Finally someone notices this. I don't know what breakfast turds your European hens are crapping out, but over here in the states, an egg is bigger on one side than the other. Our standard NFL football is what I like to refer as an "oblong spheroid object" and an egg shape would simply be silly as it would hamper the aerodynamic properties of said spheroid.-Samurai- said:
Whoever said it was being called "gridiron," that is more of an affectionate name for the field. I've never heard the game itself referred to as that.
Probably not the first to say it and probably not the last: You mean "they call football "soccer" in the USA". It's not just Europe that refers to football as football, it's pretty much the rest of the world.
Trollface? Awesome. I like that they had "airholes" in it for the flares, by the way, those folks thought ahead.

... No I don't mean lacrosse! I mean hockey, but you may know it as 'Field Hockey'. Most of the world calls that hockey, and 'ice hockey' is deserving of the qualifier.BehattedWanderer said:

As for how hockey could be played without ice, even in America I know you can play it with balls on the street!
I've never been more proud to be a Truk right now.
We may not look like it, but us Turks are surpisingly well knowledge of stuff like the internet and its memes.

Apparantly because the "ball" is a "foot" long. On a side note, I remember reading somewhere that they called it "world championship", not because it involves anyone but america, but because they where sponsored by "The World" newspaper or something.Stalydan said:
The North Americans call it football because the ball was originally one foot long (12in, 30.5cm). Today the ball is 11 to 11.5 inch long. (very relevant to the topic)
They did...During the 1800s and early 1900s, American football was played with zero or very little padding, though I guess its not a good sign when your players start dying due to due to the high speed collisions. Apparently, in 1905, nineteen players died due to the violent nature of the sport.MelasZepheos said:
LOL, I love Turkish football, they have some of the most passionate fans on earth. While they are often perceived as thugs, after traveling to Istanbul to watch Asenal vs Fenerbahce, the Turkish fans were polite, funny and a great losers (arsenal won 5-2 woop woop)
Okay, say what you want about Americans and American football, at least our sports fans are not this crazy. First it was those vuvuzela blowers in Latin America, who blow their damn horns loud enough to give THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD permanent hearing damage, now it's Turkey using a giant trollface to assert their desire to wave around flares, that burn hot enough to instantly cut through a human skull, while standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a stadium.
Come on rest of the world. At least wait until after the game before you start causing grevious bodily harm to each other.
