Yeah, how the fuck could people ever use different words to describe the same thing? What faggotry...

I know, how the shrek can humans contemplate utilising alternative vocabulary when depicting a similar object. How queer.

Except Football is Football.

American Football makes no sense, name wise

Yes it does. Back when it was created most sports were played on horseback. Seeing as how it was one of the few sports to be played on foot, it was called Football. England also introduced the sport as Soccer to its colonies as well which is why the US, Australia, and Canada call it Soccer instead of Football.
