This will be what gets him shot.

Where’s the missing piece of ear?? Can’t find it, right?

If he really got shot in the ear there should be a chuck misting from the top rim but it’s clean as a baby orangutan's ass.

Cartilage doesn't regrow.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

He was shot? I don't remember that.

He was shot near, maybe.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Nah he's gone after the NFL before. He's a pedophile convicted felon, I don't think his dumb musing about football will be his downfall.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

He wasn't shot. His guard hip checked his head mid tackle. That's why they had to get a second opinion from their favorite lying doctor before releasing the medical report.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.

I suggest remaining American football to "rugby for pansies".

Or maybe "handegg".

On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Rugby players don't get hit like football players do. The lack of padding changes the game.

[-] MurrayL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Most people who mock American football as ‘rugby for wusses’ (or similar) don’t even know how the game works, let alone what the legitimate differences are.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

In fact handegg players are more likely to suffer serious injuries because of it AFAIK. Particularly brain damage.

[-] FEIN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

"rugby for pansies" until you get CTE or some irreversible brain injury...

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 20 points 2 months ago

Hahaha! FIFA game him a peace prize to get this to happen.

This timeline is ridiculous.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised it took that long. Football is missing one of the biggest markets in the world and they'd award that dumbass with a trophy daily if that got them any closer to football in the US.

[-] Bot@sub.community 18 points 2 months ago

Now he annoyed his voters I think

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago

Gridiron.

It's known as Gridiron Football already, just use the other half...

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

While we are at it we should rename the hundreds of cities named the same as European cities. Maybe even consider renaming Georgia, why would they want to be named after King George

[-] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Don't forget all of new england

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Georgia is also a country. Gets confusing because some Americans will tell your their state when asked where they're from, even when overseas. I've complimented someone who'd said they're from Georgia on their English before.

(On a side note, can you imagine travelling to the US, being asked where you're from, then going 'oh I'm from alto adige originally')

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Georgia? You mean Russia? /s. Sorry, figured we'd have a nice Russian invasion joke.. come to think of it, not a good joke. Just a shit country invading borders

I fucking hate that I actually agree with the fat child rapist. I'm now going to go and scrub my skin off with bleach!!

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

If it helps, he doesn't actually believe this, or care either way, he's just extremely bribable.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

He also has a grudge against the NFL because Jerry Jones kept him from getting a team.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

I am recommending we call it concussion ball.

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I can't believe he said something the entire world outside US agree with 🤣

[-] VlerrieBR@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He saya quite a few things we agree on, and surely there should be for you as well, but hatred blinds.

[-] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

He's bribed to say things people agree with otherwise no he says nothing any sane reasonable person agree with like ever.

[-] VlerrieBR@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Like I said: blinded. Any 2 people in the world no matter their differences agree on something.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

also the head of the football commision, of fifa, gave him him a "fifa peace prize"

[-] thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 months ago

I guess that's another tally for the times Trump has said something I agree with

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

He's absolutely right. And while we're at it, can we rename the "World" Series?

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Canada has a team in the league. It counts.

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

So, the National Basketball League of Australia could call their championship the World Cup of Basketball? It has two countries in it.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Anyone can call anything anything they want! Names mean fuck all

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago
[-] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago
[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We can call it the NHL. Perfect!

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

We all know he wants to call it "Trump Ball". Hell, why only replace one word, let's call the game "Trump Trump".

[-] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 4 points 2 months ago

Rugby or Gridiron would be great!

otherwise i hate everything about this. i need to take a break from football because FIFA is just too overtly disgusting lately.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

US football dispensed with most of the rules of international rugby years ago. Gridiron would make sense though.

[-] limelight79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

So now we do care what other countries think?

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

He should rename "the gulf of America" back to "the gulf of mexico" while he's at it

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

This is because FIFA just sucked him off.

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone -1 points 2 months ago

Piss off Trump, Aussie Rules is football and nothing else, soccer will always be soccer.

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Although .. to be fair Aussie Rules can also be just Footy.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Except it references within its name that it's a sub group of football.
