Its called football.

The American game should be called American rugby.

It has nothing in common with football.

There are places where rugby is called football. American football has plenty in common with European football, it’s the most popular rectangular field sport in the region, which seems to really be all it takes to be called football.

Rugby has nothing in common with the American game. The American game is ‘FOOTBALL’. Stick it up your @$$, Brits. Especially you, Piers of $hit.
