I think people put too much weight on his ramblings. He doesn’t actually plan on this. He’s just schmoozing.
Handegg, obviously.
I love this. But I feel like Handoval might go over better
American forward-pass Rugby
I feel like that doesn’t resolve the problem that American Football has.
This is America - we don’t solve problems, we just ignore them
You’re not ignoring it by changing the name, either.
This is america
Gets a bribe from fifa, “we need to change the name of this sportsing”
For a moment I thought he was having a rare moment of clarity, but no, he was having a common moment of corruption
Trump has always been hurt that he couldn’t buy a sports team. He tried to buy the Buffalo Bills years ago but it failed.
And the reason he couldn’t have a team? Because all the other rich owners, the guys whose club he so desperately wants to be a part of, hate his guts, and want nothing to do with him, so they’ve iced him out of pro team ownership for DECADES.
No it was because they suspected he had mob ties and was lying about his wealth.
That’s definitely PART of the reason they hate him, although you could probably say the same things about most of those owners.
I think a bigger reason is that he’s just a massive Putz, and nobody can stand to be around him unless they absolutely have to. They don’t want to have him in the owners suite on draft day, running his big mouth, demanding loyalty and respect from everybody, etc. The guy sucks ALL the oxygen from every room he enters, and narcissistic billionaires aren’t real big on sharing the spotlight, especially with a massive dickhead like Trump.
They can approve a guy they like, or Trump. Anyone would choose the friend.
I’ve been calling it ‘stupid’ for some time and never really get any cogent pushback. Sports!
National Stupid Football League, or NSFL for short!
National Stupid Football League,
May I suggest “National Stupid Football Workgroup” ? Just because the short-hand …
NSFL sometimes stands for “not safe for life” but either is fine with me.
So he had a meeting with a soccer player then?
They gave him a peace prize. The FIFA Peace Prize smh
Maybe we should have some people from SI give him something, so that the US will ditch those stupid units. He’s got a peace prize and a jet, so something else… How about a gold helicopter with AI in it? We could have the tail rotor fitted with LEDs some it’ll spell out TRUMP when flying. If we better make it good enough, maybe he’ll have ICE pickup anybody using feet or fahrenheit.
Football player
I knew that it was controversial as I typed it. You right,
Just call what the NFL plays soccer. Then use football for the actual game with ⚽
Ah yes maximum chaos
Oh yeah think of all the “soccer? I barely knew 'er” jokes we could make
Wait until you learn what football players can get away with

The ball is oval. They just need to restrict the age of players to 13-19 years old then they could call it “Ovalteen”. That’s gold Gerry! That’s gold!
Concussion-ball has a nice ring to it.
It would be so fucking funny if this is the last straw for Americans and they finally rise up.
Supposedly, a lot of “real Americans” ditched the NFL the last few years. He might need to go after NASCAR and NHL too.
Finally something we can agree on.
NFL FootBall can be renamed to HandEgg.
National Handegg League, or the NHL!
Wait…
It’s OK we can just rename hockey to IceStick or something
The NFL just needs to invent a peace prize and present it to Trump, then he’ll immediately change his tune and start insisting that FIFA changes their terminology to Soccer.
Omg. Did he say this after getting his participation trophy from FIFA?
Of course he did
NFL Peaciest Prize for Bestest Person, gotta one up FIFA
Just call it “Handegg”
He was denied an ownership deal to a football team a long time ago and he’s just getting revenge. That’s what tin pot dictators do. There’s also another thing they usually do…
I think he was just giving a soccer peace prize by FIFA, this is just him doing one of his favors back, lol.
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system!
Only one of these pictures is real, and only one system is used for space stuff in reality
ISO I believe
Or BIPM
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit
You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
Like an amp that you can turn up to 11
0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
Which is 99% due to you being used to that.
And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.
Third down and 3 meters to go!
Kicking a 20 meter field goal.
Perfect.
Sad but true, Americans will only do the right thing if they get some benefit, if you give them money. Trump is just the embodiment of everything American. That’s why some Americans love him, some hate him.
Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.
It’s true, not all americans and it is not uniquely american thing. But it is a predominant american thing in general and nobody expect different behaviour. Just like “americans are good basketball players”. Not all, not uniqiely but when america (USA) is playing you expect that they will win.
True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.
